About the author
Born in 1924 and dying in 1994, David Carlisle Hulse was an Alabama author, artist, and avocational archaeologist. He is best known as the co-author, with James W. Cambron, of Handbook of Alabama Archaeology: Part I, Point Types, a reference work on projectile point types from Alabama and nearby regions.
Hulse's name also appears in archaeological writing connected with Paleo-Indian and other prehistoric artifacts from the Tennessee Valley, showing his active role in fieldwork and artifact study. Beyond archaeology, he was also noted as an accomplished artist, and his work was featured in Alabama Birds.
Brief memorial information from Alabama describes him as a longtime outdoorsman who enjoyed waterfowl hunting and fishing and lived in Priceville, Alabama. Taken together, the record that survives presents him as a careful observer of the natural world whose interests in art, history, and field collecting all fed into his writing.
