'''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.
The first documented use of the name "Hawkshaw" is on a black-and-white photograph of the area which has "Hawkshaw ... 1939" handwritten on its face. 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.<ref>''Archaeology and History at Hawshaw''(1985).
