Katie M. Whitmore studies the skeletal remains of past populations to understand health, aging, and life stages in ancient societies, with a particular focus on the archaeological site of Tombos in Sudan (ancient Egyptian-Nubian community). Her work examines topics like growing old, childhood and puberty, and rare skeletal conditions such as dwarfism and skeletal dysplasia, using bioarchaeological (skeletal analysis) and isotopic (chemical dietary reconstruction) methods. She also has experience in public outreach connecting archaeological research with local communities.
Publication output has been uneven over the past decade, with a burst of activity in 2019, a multi-year gap from 2020-2022, and a recent resurgence in 2023-2025.
