Michael Pietrusewsky Jr. is an American physical/biological/forensic anthropologist. He has been associated with the University of Hawai‘i-Mānoa (UHM), Honolulu, since 1969 where he is now Professor Emeritus [since 2015]^[1].  

Research

Pietrusewsky’s research focuses on biological distance studies^[2] that apply multivariate statistical methods to traditional morphometric data for reconstructing historical biological relationships of the inhabitants of the Pacific-Asia region.  His research also focuses on other topics in bioarchaeology^[3] that have contributed to our understanding of health, diet, and lifestyle of the early inhabitants of Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Pacific^[4]. His research in Southeast Asia includes studies of Early Metal Age skeletons from Non Nok Tha^[5] and the World heritage site of Ban Chiang^[6][7][8][9]in northeast Thailand.
