Abstract

The repressive systems deployed by the Southern Cone dictatorships, were based on networks of clandestine centers through which practices of kidnapping, torture, rape and forced disappearance were carried out. At the request of human rights organizations, several forensic anthropology teams were established during the democratic transitions, which focused their disciplinary practice mainly towards the search for clandestine burials. Over the years, it became clear that the rest of the materialities that made those crimes possible were overlooked by the judicial investigation procedures. Based on the presentation of projects carried out in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, we argue for a comprehensive forensic archeology practice, one that contributes to making the rights to justice, truth and reparation effective.
