press release:
On Thursday, July 23 at 2 p.m., Eager Free Public Library and The Grove Society of Evansville are sponsoring a program about southern Wisconsin archaeology presented by Amy Rosebrough, Staff Archaeologist at the State Archeology and Maritime Preservation Department of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Dr. Rosebrough’s presentation, “Archaeology of Southern Wisconsin,” will be an overview of Wisconsin archaeology during the 13,000 year span of Wisconsin’s history. The presentation is also designed to supplement the Grove Society's newest acquisition of arrow points by Nancy Norgord of Oshkosh. The arrow points, some possibly 8,000-10,000 years old, were found on her maternal grandparent’s farm, Marvin Patterson and Leticia (Finn) Patterson, who resided east of Evansville within the city limits.
Rosebrough has a PhD in anthropology/archaeology from the University of Wisconsin -Madison with a focus on effigy builders, their mounds, and their pottery.
