Richard-

I've been through the trial transcripts...and will suggest them to my student.

Is the Manning report that summarized those excavations published or anywhere?

Thanks,


Melissa Connor

Dear Melissa,

The bodies at the Bosnian 1995 execution site of Kozluk were in made ground. The 
soil for the made ground had been dredged out of the Drina River and dumped for 
subsequent silty/sand quarrying. Soil was pushed over the bodies after 
execution.

Three months later several hundred bodies were removed by the Bosnian Serb 
authorities and reburied in secondary graves such as Cancari 3. 

However some 300 bodies were left behind at Kozluk and were exhumed by ICTY, 
under my direction, in 1999.

Some account of this work is included in testimony on the ICTY web pages - in 
particular testimony given in February 2007. The trial is that of the so-called 
Popovic 7.

Regards,

Richard
