On Saturday, September 25, 1978, a field crew consisting of Dr. James W. Stoutamire, Robert Karwedsky, and Katharine Gedris conducted an. archeological survey of ten to fifteen acres to be acquired by the City of Thomasville, Georgia for use as a city park.

Archeology in the Southeastern United States received its first big impetus during the 1930's under the financial support of the Works Project Administration. During this period many sites were excavated without the results being published. Such a site is Hawkins Point.
