The fields of Transitional Justice and Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology are all, one way or another, in the service of Truth Finding; theoretically they should be incorporated within each other’s theoretical frameworks and mechanisms, as the fields have considerate overlap. Approaching the fields from an academic perspective, one will soon learn that, although connected by Truth, their academic foundations are vastly different, in every sense possible; their ontology, epistemology as well as their dissemination of research. This work investigates whether the aforementioned elements impact the connectedness between fields. With the aid of Quantitative Content Analysis, Expert Interviews and statistical analysis, this work sets out to create an interdisciplinary Mixed Method piece of research. The results indicate that although awareness of the other fields exists, the data suggests that it is below the threshold of what it should be. The ontology, epistemology and dissemination have major roles is the gap of connectedness, however other developments in the past and present drive a wedge between the fields.
