women. The men were from 40 to 60 years of age at the time of death. The adult women were between 20 and 85 years of age at the time of death; (b) in most of the cases studied, the injuries found were sufficient in number of shots and lethal areas affected to have caused the death of these persons; (c) a total of 96 pieces of ballistic evidence was recovered; (d) it was difficult to identify the children in the common graves individually; because, being children, their bones and teeth did not have significant identification features to differentiate them. No skeletal remains were found at Site 1 in La Joya, or in Sites 2 and 3 Grave B in Jocote Amarillo.372 236. In 2001, the exhumation work extended from October 1 until November 2, 2001, at Site 2 in the village of El Mozote, Site 1, Site 2, Site 3 and Site 4 in Los Toriles, and Site 1A in the canton of La Joya. Regarding Site 2, known as the “house of Israel Márquez” in the village of El Mozote, due to the extensive damage caused by the fire, it was not possible to individualize the skeletons of the people murdered there or to establish any kind of relationship between the fragments. Therefore, the objective of the laboratory analysis was to determine the minimum number of individuals (MNI). Thus, based on the dental pieces found, a total of 12 adults and 4 sub-adults was estimated. Additionally, a total of 95 pieces of ballistic evidence were recovered. In the village of Los Toriles, a total of 25 skeletons were exhumed; of these, 17 were recovered complete in four common graves and in eight cases the skeletons recovered were incomplete. In 15 cases, the skeletons were male and in 10 they were female. According to the conclusions of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, the injuries found were sufficient as regards the number of shots and lethal areas affected to have caused the death of the individuals. Also, two bullet fragments were found at Site 1, 21 bullets at Site 2, and 33 pieces of ballistic evidence at Site 3. At Site 1A of La Joya canton, three human skeletons were found in a common grave and three spent cartridges and a bullet fragment.373 237. In 2003, the forensic work was conducted from October 23 to December 10, 2003. The work was carried out at Site 1, Graves A and B in the village of Poza Honda of Cerro Pando, at Site 1, Site 2 and Site 3 of the village of Ranchería, Site 3 and Site 4 of the village of El Mozote, and Site 5 of the village of Los Toriles. During the exhumations the skeletal remains of a minimum of 57 individuals were recovered, including 10 males, 11 females, two probably females, and 21 of indeterminate sex. Of these, 26 were adults, 9 sub-adults, 9 children/subadults, 10 children, 2 infants, and 9 of indeterminate age. The identification of the children was problematic, given the state of conservation and the place from which they were recovered (highly eroded and mixed in with a mass of bones in most cases), and because the teeth and bones of children do not have characteristics that aid in their identification. In addition, 172 pieces of ballistic evidence were recovered.374 238. The exhumation work in 2004 was conducted from October 21 to November 3 at Site 5 and Site 6 in the village of El Mozote. Considering the total number of natural dental pieces found at Site 5, the minimum number of individuals recovered was three. It was concluded that there were no human skeletons at Site 6. A total of 69 pieces of ballistic evidence were recovered at the two sites.375 239. In order to identify the remains recovered from the 2000 to 2003 exhumations, a list was prepared of the individuals whose remains should have been found at the sites of the exhumations, based on the information provided by the witnesses and the evidence recovered. 372 Cf.
