Rock River Archaeological Society

Rock River Archaeological Society Archived newsletters are found on this page, posted under "Notes." They had previously been displayed on our blog, which has been discontinued.

The Rock River Archaeological Society was organized in August 1998 for the purpose of studying the rich Native American cultural and archaeological history of the upper Rock River area, including Horicon Marsh and extending throughout southern Wisconsin. Through regularly scheduled meetings, field trips and special events, members develop a better understanding and deeper appreciation of the archa

eological history and current research on native American cultures in southern Wisconsin. This society aims to provide activities for artifact collectors, amateur and professional archaeologists, and persons interested in Wisconsin's Native American History. We encourage families and youth to join in appreciating and studying these many areas of interest. Members will be offered the opportunity to become involved in field research and preservation of our cultural resources in Wisconsin and beyond.

Matt Rupnik
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I’m originally from Sheboygan, and after high school I attended the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biology with an animal emphasis and an Environmental Science minor.

After college I worked as an intern at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary working with native Wisconsin wildlife such as birds of prey, small mammals, reptiles, and waterfowl. Upon completing the internship, I moved to Texas for an internship at Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, which eventually turned to a 4yr full time position. I was able to work with primates, large carnivores, exotic birds, and domestic hoofstock.

From Texas, I was fortunate to return home to Green Bay, and became the Senior Animal Keeper at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. After ten years working with wildlife I made a temporary career change, and worked in lawncare for the past year while looking for the next chapter in my career. At which point I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to become the director at wonderful Marsh Haven Nature Center, an opportunity that I am grateful for as well as excited to share my passion for wildlife.

When not working, you can find me spending time outdoors with my two dogs whether hiking, birding, kayaking, fishing , or camping. I enjoy cooking, occasional gardening, and sports(especially the Green Bay Packers). I love to spend time with family, especially catching my niece and nephew’s hockey or baseball games. I am excited for this next opportunity, and looking forward to getting to know all of you!
