I did see some documentation about graveyards adjacent to prisons, informal groups digging up bodies to return to the families.

I expect that any attempt at Balkans-style forensic documentation will wait until the country has become stabilized. Not worth risking your life -- the bones aren't likely to be looted.

My understanding is that Saddam modelled his regime on Stalin's, and required a fairly high kill rate to maintain the necessary fear level. So the killing, and the mass graves, was much higher during 1991, but went on all the time. About 30,000 a year died on average.
