Summary note
"In Bioarchaeology of the Florida Gulf Coast, Dale Hutchinson explores the role of human adaptation along the Gulf coast of Florida and the influence of coastal foraging on several indigenous Florida populations. The Sarasota landmark known as Historic Spanish Point has captured the attention of historians and archaeologists for more than 150 years. This picturesque location includes remnants of a prehistoric Indian village and a massive ancient burial mound - known to archaeologists as the Palmer Site - that is one of the largest mortuary sites uncovered in the southeastern United States."--BOOK JACKET.
