Several mass graves were found at this location, some of which contained the remains of two to three bodies, while others contained a much larger number.

Almost all the mass graves at this location were exhumed during September and October 1999, with the exception of the mass grave denoted as Glogova 1, which was exhumed in May 2001.

As the following graph shows, the column representing “Various Body Parts Only” plays the dominant role. In a significant number of cases, five or fewer bones are involved. Taking into consideration that a human body is composed of over 200 bones, it is clear that such a small sample is insufficient for drawing any forensically significant conclusions (unless it involves cranial bones or others that shield vital organs, and unless the bones themselves do not exhibit injuries caused by bullets or other weapons). It is important to note that Prosecution experts themselves have been unable to determine the cause of death in 280 out of 295 cases at this location where only small body parts were found. Thirty-five bodies reveal traces of shrapnel, which unambiguously indicates that these persons died from the concussive impact of a grenade, mortar, or other heavy weapon. Blast wounds were the cause of death in thirty-two cases. It is also relevant that 53.3% of the Glogova material does not consist of complete bodies but only of body parts or bone fragments. Of that percentage, ICTY forensic experts could not determine the cause of death in 95% of the cases. When referring to incomplete bodies, the cause of death could not be determined in thirty-three cases; the cause of death was injury to the upper body region in eight cases, and lower body region injuries were cited as the cause of death in one case.

A total of fourteen bodies had blindfolds and/or ligatures, which may be interpreted as suggesting execution.
