Contents Summary

FOLLOWING ANTIGONE was produced by WITNESS with longstanding partners at the Equipo Argentino de Antropologia Forense/Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF). EAAF uses forensic sciences, including anthropology, to uncover the truth of massacres, disappearances, and other gross violations of human rights - so that they can then help the families of victims recover the remains of their loved ones and provide evidence to courts. This EAAF-WITNESS collaboration documents the stages of their work from pre-interviews and exhumations to trials and reburials, drawing on their landmark exhumation at El Mozote in eastern El Salvador, which EAAF has been documenting over the past 10 years, as well as on other examples from around the world. It also explores the history of EAAF and shows the reasons why science is an essential part of human rights investigations. Also in Spanish: |Tras los pasos de Antigona: Antropologia forense e investigaciones de derechos humanos.
