description This article analyzes the tensions between truth and justice in the formation of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and the paradoxical way in which it made sense to the restorative action which began during Nestor Kirchner’s presidency. For this, we focus on the work of the team around the N.N. buried bodies found in municipal cemeteries throughout the country from the eighties to the present. From the cross-analysis of written documents and oral sources, we observe how this tension organized the disputes around the meaning of the restorative action between 1984 and 1989 and the way in which its incomplete resolution transformed the work of the EAAF from the year 2003. This transformation made clear for the actors at stake the insufficiency of scientific truth and the partial nature of judicial reparation in order to give meaning to the anonymous deaths of the disappeared.

Este artículo analiza el rol constitutivo de las tensiones entre verdad y justicia en el proceso de conformación del Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense y el modo paradójico en que la resolución de esa tensión condiciona el sentido de la acción restitutiva a partir de la etapa inaugurada por el gobierno de Néstor Kirchner. Para ello, hacemos foco en el trabajo del equipo desarrollado en torno a las tumbas de N.N. halladas en los cementerios municipales de todo el país desde los años ochenta hasta la actualidad. A partir del análisis cruzado de documentos escritos y fuentes orales observamos cómo esta tensión organizó las disputas en torno al sentido de la acción restitutiva entre 1984 y 1989 y el modo en que su resolución -incompleta- a partir del 2003 transformó el trabajo del EAAF. Esta transformación evidenció para los actores en juego la insuficiencia de la verdad científica y el carácter parcial de la reparación judicial para dar sentido a las muertes anónimas de los desaparecidos. Este artigo analisa o papel constitutivo das tensões entre verdade e justiça no processo de formação da Equipe Argentina de Antropologia Forense e a forma paradoxal como a resolução dessa tensão condiciona o sentido da ação restaurativa desde a etapa inaugurada pelo governo de Nestor Kirchner. Para fazer isso, nos concentramos no trabalho da equipe desenvolvida em torno dos túmulos de N.N. Encontrado em cemitérios municipais de todo o país desde a década de 1980 até os dias atuais. A partir da análise cruzada de documentos escritos e orais, observamos como essa tensão organizou as disputas em torno do sentido da ação restaurativa entre 1984 e 1989 e a forma como sua resolução -incompleta- a partir de 2003 transformou o trabalho da EAAF . Essa transformação deixou claro para os atores em jogo a insuficiência da verdade científica e o caráter parcial da reparação judicial para dar sentido às mortes anônimas de desaparecidos.
