Scope and content:

Video of the Hawkshaw archaeology dig, May 1985, with commentary by Judy Bense, and interviews and commentary by Mrs. Samuel Carr, Woody Skinner, Alan Gantzhorne, and Eloise Gadus.  The archaeological project covered the area east of downtown Pensacola where Gulf Power was buildilng a new headquarters.  The Hawkshaw area is loosely defined as roughly 100 city blocks, taking its name in the 1920s and 1930s, and bordered by Alcaniz on the west, Gregory Street on the north, and Pensacola Bay to the South and East.  Although British maps indicated the residence of Governor Peter Chester in this area, nothing was found of the British period.  However, an excellent Native American complex from the Deptford era was uncovered.
