Ethical and political risks in the scientific analysis of human remains of victims of Nazi War crimes
Forensic methods are being used with increasing frequency to identify war dead. Scientific advances enable the technique to be applied to older historic conflicts. Identification of war dead can support mourning and commemoration. However, these approaches are not value-neutral tools. They are historically embedded in the detection of difference, the determination of group membership and racialized identities. DNA testing may be used to establish…
Unrecovered objects
The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) was triggered by a military uprising against the democratically elected Popular Front government. Away from the battlefield, this war was characterized by the politically-motivated murder of thousands of civilians, many of whom were buried in clandestine graves throughout Spain. Following Franco’s victory and subsequent dictatorship, there were strong prohibitions on commemorating the Republican dead. A radical r…
Anzac Anxieties
The Battle of Fromelles in Northern France was launched in July 1916. There were 5533 Australian casualties and in the immediate aftermath of the battle, German burial parties buried Allied dead in unmarked pits and the whereabouts of some were forgotten. Recent archaeological and scientific work has resulted in the belated recovery and reburial of these bodies with a new, purpose-built CWGC Cemetery inaugurated in the village of Fromelles in 201…
The Recovery and Commemoration of War Dead from Post-Colonial Contexts
This issue explores the recovery and commemoration of war dead who died while part of a colonial or imperial force, as soldiers, or as labourers under military command. This category of war dead is
The archaeology of post-medieval death and burial
The richness of post-medieval mortuary archaeology is explored through a broad number of cases, also identifying trends in research agendas and theoretical approaches, through time. This article considers the archaeology of burial and mourning; the osteological study of demography and health; the reconstruction of the individual biographies of the dead and hitherto marginalized histories, with a focus on the archaeology of the United Kingdom, but…
The dead and their public. Memory campaigns, issue networks and the role of the archaeologist in the excavation of mass graves
This contribution will consider how the practice of archaeology 'brings a public into being'. Drawing on examples of the excavation of mass graves from the Spanish Civil War and the First World War, particularly those cases resulting from activism on the part of memory campaign groups, this paper considers how the act of excavation can serve as a catalyst for members of the public to coalesce and deliberate the complex and far-reaching questions …
Exhuming Loss
This book examines the contested representations of those murdered during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s in two small rural communities as they undergo the experience of exhumation, identification, and reburial from nearby mass graves. Based on interviews with relatives of the dead, community members and forensic archaeologists, it pays close attention to the role of excavated objects and images in breaking the pact of silence that surrounded…
Missing Bodies Near-at-Hand
The scientific and affective identification of Republican civilian victims from the Spanish Civil War
This article addresses the concurrent processes of the scientific and affective identification of human remains, resulting from the excavation of mass graves from the Spanish Civil War. Affective identification refers to the reconstruction of locally meaningful identities, recognition amongst the living of affective bonds with the dead, and the emotions of mourning elicited in this process. Drawing on fieldwork in two rural communities in the Bur…
