ABOUT MERCEDES' WORK
Mercedes Doretti is a forensic anthropologist who unearths evidence of crimes against humanity, restoring voices to long-silenced victims and presenting critical findings to tribunals, human rights organizations, and special commissions around the globe. As a university student, Doretti co-founded the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF in Spanish) in 1984 to investigate the cases of men, women, and children who disappeared under the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. From its inception, EAAF’s multi-stage process has involved exhaustive historical research and interviews to locate clandestine graves; painstaking excavation and documentation of remains; determination of cause, manner, and time of death of victims; and the return of identified victims’ remains to families. Soon after commencing work in Argentina, Doretti and EAAF expanded their geographic scope, and they now work in more than 30 conflict-torn countries throughout Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Doretti’s approach is twofold — the collection of hard scientific evidence and implementation of new laboratory technologies for the identification of remains is complemented by compassionate, personal collaboration with grieving families during each step of the investigative process. In order to underscore the value of forensic anthropology in the promotion of human rights, she has produced field manuals and documentary videos about her work and led the development and training of other locally based teams around the world. From El Salvador to East Timor, Bosnia to Iraqi Kurdistan, Doretti makes witnesses of bones and seeks justice on behalf of populations whose immense losses have been omitted from the historical record.

BIOGRAPHY
Mercedes Doretti received a Licenciatura (1987) from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and completed courses in biological anthropology at Hunter College, City University of New York. A founding member of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, she continues to serve as an EAAF researcher and as the coordinator of the organization’s New York City office. From 2003 to 2005, she was president of the Latin American Association of Forensic Anthropology.

关于梅塞德斯的工作
梅赛德斯-多雷蒂是一位法医人类学家，他发掘反人类罪的证据，为长期沉默的受害者恢复声音，并向全球各地的法庭、人权组织和特别委员会提交重要的发现。作为一名大学生，多雷蒂于1984年共同创立了阿根廷法医人类学小组（EAAF，西班牙语），调查在1976年至1983年统治阿根廷的军事独裁时期失踪的男人、女人和儿童的案件。从一开始，EAAF的多阶段程序就包括详尽的历史研究和访谈，以确定秘密坟墓的位置；对遗体进行艰苦的挖掘和记录；确定受害者的死亡原因、方式和时间；以及将确定的受害者遗体归还给家属。在阿根廷开始工作后不久，多雷蒂和EAAF扩大了他们的地理范围，现在他们在整个拉丁美洲、非洲、亚洲、欧洲和中东的30多个饱受冲突蹂躏的国家工作。多雷蒂的方法是双重的--收集确凿的科学证据和实施新的实验室技术来识别遗体，并在调查过程的每一步中与悲伤的家庭进行富有同情心的个人合作。为了强调法医人类学在促进人权方面的价值，她制作了有关其工作的现场手册和纪录片视频，并领导了世界各地其他当地团队的发展和培训。从萨尔瓦多到东帝汶，从波斯尼亚到伊拉克库尔德斯坦，多雷蒂用骨头做证人，代表那些在历史记录中被遗漏的巨大损失的人群寻求正义。
