      Hello ehouchell,

      I use pigs rather than humans to bury as we arent allowed to bury humans in the UK! Pigs are good analogues to use and burying them in a ‘mass grave’ and trying to find them again will help holocaust archaeologists find these really important forensic targets in former war-torn countries.

      There are sadly a lot of these about at the minute, Libya comes to mind now.
