Sumario:Forensic anthropology had a fundamental role to play in the process of investigations about State Terrorism in Argentina during the last century, and still does: that of exhuming the unidentified bodies still buried in common and individual graves and of analyzing the recovered remains towards their identification and determination of the cause of death. In the case described here, forensic anthropological and archaeological skills were essential in locating the mass graves at San Vicente, Córdoba, distinguishing among disappeared and non-disappeared dead, determining identity, and reconstructing the manner in which the disappeared were killed.
