Unchecked GPR Fuels False Grave Claims

Ground‑penetrating radar yields ambiguous subsurface signatures that can mimic non‑burial features (e.g., septic trenches or test pits). If GPR work proceeds without archival research, transparent reporting, and independent publication, ambiguous finds can be misinterpreted and amplified into large‑scale atrocity claims with major social and political consequences. — This matters because forensic methods presented as definitive can spark national moral panics, influence reconciliation processes, and change trust in expert institutions if later contradicted.
