Aportación de las ciencias forenses a la Memoria Histórica en España: un ejemplo concreto sobre la preservación tejidos blandos.

We present key elements for forensic intervention as a method to obtain formal evidence that can be used in historical memory claims in Spain since the year 2000, within the general framework of human rights. There are enough human and material resources to meet this social demand, but the help of all the public administrations is required. By way of example, we present the unusual phenomenon of brain preservation at the mass grave of La Pedraja 1. The study of these brains has allowed us to know about the potential existence of ante-mortem injuries. This represents a way to deepen forensic investigation eighty years after the historic facts.
