"El volumen Arqueología de la Guerra Civil y la Dictadura Española recoge contribuciones de diferentes equipos de investigación que han trabajado en este tema en los últimos quince años. La aplicación de la arqueología a los estudios de la contienda ha sido relativamente reciente y empezaron de forma paralela en el año 2000, con la excavación de la segunda línea de defensa de Madrid en Villa de Vallecas y la fosa común de Priaranza en el Bierzo -León-. Las dos intervenciones se llevaron a cabo de forma consciente, por vez primera, aunque con objetivos muy diferentes. La primera, la de documentar un frente de guerra y, la segunda, la de exhumar a los represaliados en la localidad. Sin embargo, ambas arrojaban luz sobre momentos históricos que no aparecían recogidos en las fuentes... la historia NO escrita.Arqueología de la Guerra Civil y la Dictadura Española collects contributions from different research teams that have worked on this topic in the last fifteen years.

This book examines the contested representations of those murdered during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930's in two small rural communities as they undergo the experience of exhumation, identification, and reburial from nearby mass graves. Based on interviews with relatives of the dead, community members and forensic archaeologists, it pays close attention to the role of excavated objects and images in breaking the pact of silence that surrounded the memory of these painful events for decades afterward. It also assesses the significance of archaeological and forensic practices in changing
