Most are just skeletons in clothes, packed inside muddied body bags that are piled from floor to ceiling in this white prefabricated shed beside a busy main road.
None has a name, just a number scrawled in blue felt tip on each bag.
Nobody knows who they are because governments, including Britain's, are reluctant to spend money on funding a new scientific investigation to discover the identities of those killed in the biggest mass murder in Europe since the Nazis. They were unearthed from mass graves hidden in forests and caves round eastern Bosnia, and are believed to be just half of those murdered in what was supposed to be a United Nations safe haven at Srebrenica in July 1995. About 8,000 boys and men were executed in five days. Gordon Bacon, a former murder squad detective in Durham and head of this investigation, walks along row after row of nameless victims heaped on stainless steel trays. Yet when Whitehall was asked last month to donate money, the Foreign Office sent a cheque for just 10,000 to solve the world's biggest forensic puzzle.
