IGNACIO, Colo.—The remains of five human bodies have been unearthed at Ignacio Intermediate School, where a construction crew is laying a sewer line.

La Plata County Coroner Jann Smith says the bones are believed to be 50 to 75 years old, possibly from a family burial plot.

According to the Durango Herald ( ), no foul play is suspected.

The remains were found last week in a ball field at the school. They are expected to remain in the ground for a couple of weeks or longer until archaeologists can excavate them and move them to a new burial site.
