Michele Buzon is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Purdue University, specializing in bioarchaeology and ancient Nile Valley studies. Her research explores sociopolitical transitions, migration patterns, and biocultural adaptation through skeletal analysis.
- University of California Santa Barbara (PhD in Anthropology)
- Loyola University Chicago (BA in Anthropology)
Research Focus: Buzon combines isotopic and skeletal data to study Egyptian-Nubian interactions, health impacts of colonialism, and identity formation. Her work at Tombos (Sudan) examines mortuary practices and human mobility through strontium/oxygen isotopes.
Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize isotopic analysis for migration tracking, paleopathology of trauma/disease, and decolonizing archaeological scholarship. Topics include post-mortem alteration, climate change effects, and intersectional identities in antiquity.
