AB  - The renowned work of Clyde Snow and the development of the Equipo Argentino de 
      Anthropologia Forense (EAAF) team has inspired the use of forensic 
      anthropological and archaeological skills in human rights interventions around 
      the world. Whether for medico-legal intervention and acquisition of evidence or 
      humanitarian repatriation and identification of human remains, forensic expertise 
      has garnered attention in the global arena. Arguably fulfilling evidentiary and 
      psychosocial needs, there has been growing interest in this post-conflict 
      redress. However, as part of the critique of these interventions, scholars and 
      practitioners have pointed out - primarily in medico-legal investigations - a 
      lack of sensitization of local communities regarding forensic work, increasing 
      the potential for re-traumatization, unrealistic expectations, or an 
      unintentional increase in political tensions. Research regarding forensic 
      intervention and human remains have permeated social sciences, peace and conflict 
      studies, and science and technology studies, revealing both intentional and 
      unintentional impacts of forensic sciences after mass violence. In an effort to 
      mitigate negative impacts of medico-legal or humanitarian interventions, the 
      research described here sought to sensitize communities in Uganda about forensic 
      methods. Findings from this study suggest that sensitization is necessary and 
      desired, and that a multi-step approach can assist in managing expectations.
