[Actes du colloque international Traces matérielles de la mort de masse. L’objet exhumé, des 4-6 novembre 2015]

This is a special issue of the “Cahiers de Sirice” bringing together historians, historians of art, archeologists, anthropologists working on mass graves and memory of mass violence. We chose to focus our attention on the objects exhumed from these mass graves and not only on bones and corpses. What do they tell us about the victims, about the perpetrated crimes ? But also we worked on the “second life” of these objects after they were unearthed. What is to be done with them ?
The special issue is made up of 9 different papers, dealing with very different situations : from Peru to USSR, from Spain to Bosnia.
