“…Similar approaches in the search for burials (based on document analysis, and secutively, geophysical surveys) are known in the solving of so-called cold cases [52 and the search for missing persons [54]. The geophysical prospecting method base the conductivity EM meter provided positive findings [55].…”

Technologies and scientific progress are of major importance in monitoring cultural heritage (CH). Studies of CH preservation play a crucial role in understanding human history, inheriting splendid nations’ cultures, and safeguarding cultural diversity. The scientific community and the countries must lead a battle to maintain and preserve CH. The possibilities in the search for underground objects (using non-invasive methods) that have been forgotten are presented. This article presents the results of research conducted in the area of the Citadel in Lviv (Ukraine) and an execution site of the Second World War (Kazimierz Biskupi, Poland). This research makes it possible to highlight the problem of researching to find and adequately commemorate objects and events that are essential elements of the CH of Ukraine and Poland. The proposed non-invasive methods allow the designation of protection zones of historical and cultural significance.

This review article seeks to gather recent experiences using Geospatial Information Sciences (GISc) in searching for clandestine graves. Around the world, missing persons are registered daily, and this is a current problem in Mexico that is why we seek to gather recent experiences to find some applications that may be useful. One of the main findings is that the authors agree on the importance of bringing together multidisciplinary teams and using different techniques. This review is divided into three parts: the theoretical and methodological tools of environmental criminology, the use of GISc in conflict context, and peace contexts, forensic experimentation and remote sensing techniques. Most of the items located are found in this third category, highlighting the use of remote sensing techniques and, more recently, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones.
