About the author

David C. Hulse, listed by Project Gutenberg as David C. (David Carlisle) Hulse, was an American writer whose most widely known book is Handbook of Alabama Archaeology: Part I, Point Types, written with James W. Cambron. The book became a lasting reference for identifying prehistoric point types found in Alabama and the surrounding region.

Records in tDAR, the Digital Archaeological Record, connect him with several archaeological papers and collections focused on fluted points, excavations, and Paleoindian material from the Tennessee Valley. Those listings suggest he was an active participant in Alabama archaeology, especially in documenting artifacts and helping organize field knowledge into practical reference works.

A memorial record for David Carlisle Hulse gives his lifespan as 1924–1994 and describes him as an artist and author from Decatur, Alabama. Some book listings also credit him with Alabama Birds, showing that his interests appear to have reached beyond archaeology into natural history as well.
