The Tomašica grave-site near Prijedor in the north of Bosnia is reported to be the largest primary mass grave discovered thus far relating to the 1992-95 war. A total of 275 complete bodies and 125 body parts were exhumed from it in 2013. Post mortem examinations of the victims showed that nearly all had died from gunshot injuries but an additional striking feature was the degree of preservation of many of the bodies, even 21 years on, with skin, soft tissues and internal organs still present in abundance and gross structures clearly identifiable. Histology was performed on 68 samples of soft tissue from a total 13 bodies, on both skin and internal organs, and the degree of preservation was assessed in terms of the ability to recognize microscopic structure. Further comparison was made with samples taken a month or so later (56 tissue samples from 9 bodies, all but one different from the first group), after the bodies had been covered in salt as a means of general preservation. Generally, at a microscopic level, skin and subcutaneous tissues were better preserved than internal organs, while tissues sampled at the time of autopsy were better preserved than those sampled weeks later.

在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那托马西卡(Tomašica)墓地埋葬的人类遗体的组织学观察了21年。

据报道,波斯尼亚北部普里耶多尔附近的托马西卡(Tomašica)墓地是迄今为止发现的与1992-95年战争有关的最大的初级万人冢。2013年,总共从尸体中挖出了275个完整的尸体和125个尸体。对受害者的尸检表明,几乎所有人都死于枪伤,但另一个显着特征是许多尸体的保存程度,甚至21多年以来,皮肤,软组织和内脏器官仍然大量存在,并且可以清晰地识别出大体结构。对来自皮肤和内部器官的总共13个身体的68个软组织样本进行了组织学检查,并根据识别微观结构的能力评估了保存程度。在将尸体用盐覆盖后,作为一般保存方法,对一个月左右后采集的样品(9个尸体的56个组织样品,除了第一组以外的所有样品)进行了进一步的比较。通常,在显微镜下,与内部器官相比,皮肤和皮下组织的保存更好,而在尸检时采样的组织比几周后的采样保存得更好。
