Is the commission satisfied that, in the identification of human remains beneath soil, whatever scientific method is used to bounce signals off the bog can penetrate down sufficiently, as archaeologists do? I believe Mr. Knupfer is a specialist in forensic archaeology. Has that technology been exhausted, even for the wider area of the bog, which I appreciate from his commentary is very large? Is there anything more we could, in a technological way, to locate the remains?
