[[Image:Deptford_Culture.png|thumb|right|Approximate distribution of the Deptford culture]]
The '''Deptford''' culture was a pre-Columbian Native American group that occupied what is now the Southeastern United States during the early [[Wikipedia:Woodland period|Woodland period]]. The name "Deptford" is derived from the area south of Savannah, Georgia.
In [[1985]] a [[UWF]] [[UWF Archaeology|archaeological]] team led by [[Judy Bense]] excavated a property in the [[Hawkshaw]] neighborhood (now the site of the [[Gulf Power building]]) and discovered evidence of a Deptford occupation from about 150 [[Wikipedia:Common Era|CE]]. Among the findings were hundreds of trash pits 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.
