Kaitlyn Stiles is an archaeologist, human osteologist, and forensic anthropologist with a passion for understanding humans from the bones up.

She became a Diplomate of the American Board of Forensic Anthropology (D-ABFA) in February 2022. She has active research projects in both bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology on skeletal remains from a modern 20th century cemetery in central Greece. She has also taught classes in Forensic Anthropology and Human Osteology at the University of Nevada, Reno.
