Farah Saqer is a Near Eastern bioarcheologist interested in questions concerning the agency of human movement in constructing past society and its implications on modern globalization. Farah received her master’s in Human Paleobiology from George Washington University in 2024, where her research centered on primate life histories and skeletal biology, testing for less destructive archeometric methodologies of reconstructing weaning timelines. Going forward, Farah intends to use a combination of mortuary and isotopic analyses to identify past mobility and early migrant populations among Natufian burials across the Neolithic era in Palestine. She hopes to explore the ways in which the earliest migrant identities were expressed, and the role movement has played in establishing their place in society.
