Sara Juengst

Sara Juengst is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte). Her research focuses on bioarchaeology, with a particular emphasis on movements of people and animals in the past, especially in South America. She collaborates closely with the Material History Lab to establish local strontium and oxygen isotopic baselines and conducts macroscopic and isotopic analyses of human remains, contributing to broader understandings of population dynamics and mobility patterns.

Her work integrates archaeological and osteological methods to explore how ancient populations interacted with their environments and each other. While no specific awards or grants are listed here, her interdisciplinary collaborations highlight the application of scientific techniques to anthropological questions.

No academic advisees, grants, or detailed lab information are explicitly provided in the available text, but her affiliations and research themes underscore her commitment to bioarchaeological research and methodological innovation in the field.
