On May 5, 2018, we downloaded this file from the website dedicated to then-ongoing research in the area of the former Sobibór Camp. It summarizes the results of forensic excavations conducted up to the fall of 2013. The file has since been removed, and the Wayback Machine has no copy of it either. Hence we re-post it on CODOH.
