How to discover mass graves? Croatian model of searching for missing persons
The searching for mass graves in Croatia is being conducted by the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs using interdisciplinary approach and methodology. The methodology of mass graves research is divided into two phases: pre-excavation work and excavation. In this presentation we will focus more on pre-excavation work and locating of mass graves positions, which is often problematic. During the process of locating, several methods of research are used, such as field and aerial reconnaissance, the use of ground penetrating radar, the use of Human Remains Detection Dogs (HRD), cartographic analysis and spatial GIS documentation, as well as witness testimonies. The research is focused on mass graves from the period of World War II and the War in Croatia (1991-1995). Different environmental conditions (geology, vegetation, environmental changes during time) cause many problems in locating mass graves and consequently require adaptation of research to each specific position. In this paper, we will present problems as well as solutions of using such research methodology.
