"Reitz has worked throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and the southeastern United States, studying vertebrate remains from coastal archaeological sites dating from the late Pleistocene era into the 20th century." Her work includes collaborations with local residents of areas in which she is working as well as overseeing a large (over 4200 specimen) zooarchaeological collection in the Georgia Museum of Natural History.
A reviewer for the ''Canadian Journal of Archaeology'' praised Reitz and Wing's book, ''Zooarchaeology'' as "the best available introductory text on the subject for undergraduate students".
She has been credited for having "done more than any other individual to advance the subfield of historical zooarchaeology".
Lyman notes that she is a "vocal advocate for using bone weight allometry as a measure of taxonomic abundance". Provided by Wikipedia
