Abstract
The observable characteristics or the geographical indicators of a burial site can help locate the buried remains. The investigator has to use every available technique in the search and hence needs training in search techniques. Several factors can influence the appearance of a grave. Deliberate burials tend to leave surface evidence and are commonly revealed as a depression. Unidentified graves can also be detected by plant growth, animal signs and other surface objects or indicators. Soil anomalies )depressions and cracking) are more pronounced at larger grave sites versus the smaller grave. The objective of our article is to review these processes and provide guidance as to which search, or instrument technique will be an effective strategy for locating graves.
Keywords | Buried remains; Clandestine grave; Indicators; Grave; Ground Penetrating Radar.
