The aim of this article is to review the role of exhumation - so defined - in the activities o…

It considers practices during the dictatorship and in the period following, making reference to analyses of tr…

It has been written jointly by individuals from a wide range o…

It is a common misconception that facial reconstruction will produce an exact likeness; a resemblance is the best that can be hoped for. Research at Sheffield University is aimed at the development of a computer system for facial reconstruction that will be accurate, rapid, repeatable, accessible and flexible. T…
