| − | '''Hawkshaw''' is the name of a waterfront area along [[Pensacola Bay]] east of [[downtown Pensacola]]. The Hawkshaw area can be basically defined as south of [[Gregory Street]] and east of [[Ninth Avenue]] to the [[Pensacola Bay|bay]] in both directions.

| − | Archaeologists have discovered evidence of a Native American occupation, designated the [[Deptford]] culture, which inhabited the area from about 150 [[Wikipedia:Common Era|CE]].

| − | During Pensacola's [[second Spanish period]], in the mid-18th century, the area was the site of a brick kiln. Under [[British period|British rule]], the Hawkshaw area was home to the [[Governor's Villa]], a complex built for West Florida Governor [[Peter Chester]] and burned during the Spanish recapture of Pensacola in [[1781]].

| − | Following the [[transfer of Florida]] to the United States in [[1821]], the area was planned as part of a "'''[[New City]]'''" to serve the burgeoning railroad industry. The [[New City Hotel]] was built in [[1836]] in anticipation of the district's growth, but the plan ultimately failed, and Hawkshaw became a predominantly black, working-class neighborhood for stevedores and other industrial workers. The Hawkshaw waterfront included [[Wright's Lumber Mill]], [[Muscogee Wharf]] and a number of [[L&N Railroad]] facilities, including the [[roundhouse]].

| − | When [[Gulf Power]] began construction of their [[Gulf Power building|new headquarters]] on [[Bayfront Parkway]] in [[1985]], they invited a team of [[UWF]] archaeologists to excavate the site. Dr. [[Judy Bense]] and her team discovered hundreds of trash pits from the [[Deptford]] era that had not mixed with remains from other time periods, yielding food remains and other debris that provide a very clear picture of how the Deptford culture lived.
| + | '''Hawkshaw''' is the name of a waterfront area near [[downtown Pensacola]] where a [[UWF]] archaeological team uncovered artifacts from four distinct historical periods, including a component called '''Deptford''' dating back 1750-2000 years. |
