Books by Dale L. Hutchinson

An exploration of the role of human adaptation along the Gulf coast of Florida and the influence of coastal foraging on several indigenous Florida populations. This location includes remnants of a prehistoric Indian village and a massive ancient burial mound, known as the Palmer Site.

Disease and discrimination are processes linked to class in the early American colonies. Dale Hutchinson argues that most colonists, slaves, servants, and nearby Native Americans suffered significant health risks due to their lower economic and social status. Hutchinson posits that poverty and living conditions, more so than microbes, were often at the root of epidemics.
