The exact location of both battlefields was unclear for most of the 20th century. At one time it was incorrectly identified as having taken place in modern Jonathan Dickinon State Park, with a marker placed there accordingly. In the 1980s, numerous avocational archaeologists, not all of them working together, concluded Jesup's battle occurred in Jupiter Farms along the Loxahatchee River Northwest Fork around and south of Indiantown Road (SR 706). An extensive archaeological survey by professional archaeologist Robert S. Carr and his Archaeological and Historical Conservancy (AHC) confirmed the location of the battlefield as well as numerous Seminole and pre-Seminole archaeological sites in Riverbend Park.

Bradley renamed the institution the Robert S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology and revived the museum's research and educational functions, achieved broad use of the museum's resources within Phillips Academy, inaugurated highly successful expeditionary learning programs and reactivated the Research Associate program. Innovative work directed toward NAGPRA compliance resulted in a national model for partnerships with tribes. Bradley's emphasis on collection management, acquisition of significant private collections, and building relations with native communities, avocational archaeologists, educators and professional museum and archaeology constituencies, rebuilt the museum's national significance. In November 2017, the Robert S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology was renamed the Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology in order to more accurately reflect the institution's mission and to avoid confusion with other similarly named institutions.

In the summer of 1969 Dr. Charle Fletcher of Vanderbilt University conducted a field school and did limited archaeological sampling at the site, although the results of his studies remain unpublished. A few years later in the summer of 1971 a local youth discovered a unique set of ceramic figurines at the site. John Dowd, a respected avocational archaeologist from Nashville, was contacted and after vising the location started the first photographically recorded excavations at the site. In the fall 1971 Mack Prichard the State of Tennessee's first modern state archaeologist visited the site and was instrumental in getting it added to the NRHP but was not able to raise the funds need to buy and save the site form residential development.

Don D. Fowler, one-time president of the Society for American Archaeology stated that the laws requiring government agencies to investigate whether a construction project might harm archaeological sites and call in experts before digging would not "have happened without Hester", he went on to call her a "national treasure". Beginning in 1965, Davis served as the editor of The Arkansas Archeologist, a post she held until 2008. From 1974–1991, she taught graduate courses on public archaeology and led the logistics, including organizing field excavation, laboratory processing, seminars and site surveys, for the Arkansas Training Program for Avocational Archaeologists to teach basic professional skills to enthusiasts. In 1995, Davis was appointed to serve on the Cultural Property Advisory Committee by President Bill Clinton and served for six years.

Investigations at the site have produced Native American produced shell-tempered ceramics, stone tools, bone tools, and ornaments. Items of European manufacture, including brass and copper ornaments and glass trade beads have definitively dated the upper levels of the site to the protohistoric period. The artifact assemblages found at the site by avocational archaeologists such as John J. Adams and S.F. Dunett in the 1920s and professional investigations in the 1940s by James B. Griffin, enabled Griffin to propose the Clover Phase of the Madisonville complex that spanned the years 1550 to 1600, a way of identifying this protohistoric time period at other contemporary sites in the region. Other investigations were undertaken at the site in the 1980s by Nicholas Freidin of Marshall University, who conducted an archaeological field school there from 1984 to 1988.

3 nonprofit. Until then, professional archaeologists still found ways to organize themselves to meet at a new conference location each summer, mostly because they understand the problems of working in isolation in the field and the importance of face time with colleagues. To make progress with objective science and with other cultural matters, books and journal articles are important, but one still must look colleagues in the eye and work out the details of one's research in cooperative and contentious forums. Open to all, the Pecos Conference remains an important opportunity for student archaeologists and avocational students of prehistory to meet with professional archaeologists on a one-on-one informal basis to learn about the profession, gain access to resources and new research opportunities, and to test new methods and theories related to archaeology.

Joy used the history course to provide a common linkage for the students. To show them how what they were doing tied into what had come before them, and the role that physicians played in society, and in history. He built on the common military medical heritage that they shared, and how what they did was influenced by those that went before them—from Dominique Jean Larrey and Jonathan Letterman to James Lind, Malcolm Grow, Louis Pasteur, Luther Terry, Walter Reed, and Carlos Finlay. In addition to attending lectures, each student had to prepare a history paper on a subject mutually agreed upon by the student and Joy, which led to their letter grade in the course—and built a small cottage industry of avocational military medical historians as well among those students who gained an interest in the subject.

At its 2009 Commencement, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland awarded Joy the degree of Doctor of Military Medicine, Honoris Causa. The citation to accompany the degree read: Colonel (retired) Robert J. T. Joy, MC, USA, FACP, was the first Commandant, first professor of military medicine, and first professor of medical history at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. His contributions to the academic discipline of military medicine and its history are without peer – with the assistance of his faculty and staff he created the academic discipline of military medicine as it is known today and he transformed the study of military medical history from the avocational pursuit of officers into an important scholarly component of two academic fields – medical history and military history. When the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine opened in 1976, COL Joy was selected as the legislatively mandated Professor of Military, Naval or Aerospace Science.
