Research summary

Michele R. Buzon studies the human skeletal remains and archaeological sites of ancient Nubia and Egypt, focusing on how people lived, moved, and died along the Nile Valley in antiquity. Her work combines bioarchaeology (the study of human bones from archaeological contexts) with chemical isotope analysis of teeth and bone to reconstruct ancient diets, migration patterns, physical activity, and how burial environments alter skeletal evidence over time. Much of this research centers on the site of Tombos in Sudan and broader questions about health, identity, and mobility in ancient Nubian and Nile Valley populations.
