ROUND ROCK, Texas (AP) — Human bones discovered this week by construction crews in Central Texas are almost certainly ancient remains of Native Americans, according to authorities.
Round Rock Police Cmdr. Alain Babin said an FBI anthropologist saw images of the bones and was "quite certain that they are ancient remains," the Austin American-Statesman reported Friday (http://bit.ly/1imQJy7 ).
Mariah Wade, a University of Texas anthropology professor, said determining the origin of the bones is a "tricky business." And, she added, there "shouldn't be any digging until the right people have been contacted."
Anthropologists from Texas State University were set to go Friday to the wooded area where roads for a new 225-home subdivision are being built. The area is known to locals as a good place to look for arrowheads.
