20. Human Bones Found at Aurora Construction Site

On February 14, 2019, many people were thinking of Valentine’s Day. This construction crew had other things on their mind: the human remains they had just discovered at the housing development they were working on. The bones were found during excavation the previous day. The Colorado State Archaeologist assumed responsibility for the remains and the location site, and Necrosearch, a field team that assists with international site investigations, was on-site to help with a series of non-invasive methods. The body is believed to be a male, likely over a thousand-year-old Native American.
