The Guatemalan Anthropological Team (EAFG) coordinates its efforts to exhume the victims of genocide and investigate their deaths with the local indigenous populations. This helps the families and communities of the victims to confront the tragedies and their own grief while learning what happened to their loved ones.

notebook: Uncovering the Evidence
In this notebook we learn about the ways in which forensic science can unearth human rights abuses from the past and bring closure to families as well as truth to the judicial process. The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team has been training human rights NGOs to use forensic tools to advance investigations. Through this science one can tell if a person was tortured, if the death was accidental or intentional and they can try to indentify the person.
