Anna Osterholtz is an Associate Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University and a Senior Research Associate at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology. Her research expertise is in bioarchaeology and mortuary archaeology, with a particular focus on the application of the Poetics model to mortuary contexts. In addition to her work on the Poetics model, Dr. Osterholtz has helped to develop best practices for the analysis and interpretation of commingled human remains, particularly from ossuary and massacre assemblages. In recent years, her research has also expanded to investigate the role of lead consumption, health, and age at death during the Roman period in Croatia, a project for which she received a Wenner-Gren grant in collaboration with Mario Novak at the Institute for Anthropological Research in Zagreb. Dr. Osterholtz has conducted fieldwork and lab-based research across the Americas (US Southwest), Europe (Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania), and the Middle East (UAE), exploring the intricate relationships between the living and the dead. She has edited or co-edited five volumes and authored or co-authored over twenty peer-reviewed articles. Currently, she serves on the editorial board of the Bioarchaeology and Social Theory series published by Springer and is an associate editor for the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology.
