Peccerelli is the founder and director of the Guatemalan
Forensic Anthropology Foundation (FAFG) which was established
in 1992 to bring forensic science to the task of identifying
the remains of the thousands of people who disappeared during
the counterinsurgency campaigns of the 1980s. As of 2005,
FAFG has conducted 500 investigations and recovered the remains
of 3,390 persons located in clandestine graves. Many have
been identified and returned to their families.
