The search was ordered after the surprise discovery of dozens of bones in an abandoned manhole this week.
Utility and city officials on Saturday hand-removed material from other manholes after tearing into the pavement on a service road along the site's western edge. It was then sifted onsite by forensic officials for fragments of human remains, said deputy mayor Edward Skyler.
City officials said that about 15 more pieces of remains had been recovered, bringing the total to nearly 100 this week.
Upset relatives of some Sept. 11 victims called for a federally led new search for remains in and around ground zero after construction workers discovered bones in one manhole excavated as part of work on a transit hub, officials said.
