Biography
Alexandria Orozco is a bioarchaeologist with a biocultural approach to understanding our human past via the integration of biological, geospatial, and quantitative methods. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Central Florida and holds graduate certifications in GIS from the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Central Florida. Her research considers identity, diet, health, and mobility in the past via geospatial and stable isotopic analysis of skeletal tissues (carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) and mortuary contexts. Recent work is focused on the diet of a Migration period population from Plinkaigalis, Lithuania and Sai Island, Sudan. Her postdoctoral research focused on radiocarbon dating, the development of a head mounted cultural heritage AR application as a part of the DATCH (documenting and Triaging Cultural Heritage) project, and the development of 3U satellites in conjunction with a multidisciplinary team at UCF. At Oxford College of Emory University she supervised student-led research focused on NAGPRA repatriation and historic cemetery restoration.
