The picture on an attachment in a previous post had what looked like skull pieces.Maybe. And yes, no skulls that we know of. I'm sure forensics will be able to tell at what point the cuts were made. It's just SO weird!

5. Archaeological & Historical Background Potential
5.1 The site is located in an area of very little known archaeological activity
(Figure 3). The KCCHER data indicated that no archaeology is known within the
proposed development area (PDA) apart from a number of listed buildings in the
vicinity of the PDA.

CCC Archaeology The specification makes provision for the excavation of three 20m evaluation trenches across the footprint of the approved development. This is considered to be sufficient coverage to assess the buried archaeological potential of the site. The document has been prepared in accordance with CCC standardised specifications, and provides appropriate provision for reporting and post-excavation assessment.The document represents a PART APPROVAL of condition 12; full approval will require completion of the archaeological evaluation in accordance with the approved specification,and submission of a summary report. Dependent on the results of the evaluation, further work may be required in respect of Condition 12, to ensure the preservation and/or recording of buried archaeological deposits and features if present.

No idea but these are the location of the proposed trenches, I think the bottom one would be right under the lock-ups.Any idea which part of the site the bones were found?
A few new facts (new to me, anyway)
- The builders said they have been told the bones had not been there for longer than 10 years.
- Mr Dawkins said there were pieces of skull and leg and arm bones among the findings.
- Records from the local library show the site was Days Garage from at least the 1940s until it was knocked down, thought they do not have a paper trail of the years before.
That last bit is exactly why I think it would be weird for someone to bag up a load of bones and bury them, rather than telling someone and disposing of them properly.
- Mr Dawkins said: 'Straight away you think "has somebody been murdered?" because there were a lot of bones and they were in black sacks. You think that you're going to be a suspect.'
Digger driver tells of his shock at uncovering bones from at least SIX people | Daily Mail Online
'Someone's obviously dug them up from somewhere else and then buried them here. They could be from anywhere.'
Bags less than 10 years old, but bones older?So, if the builders have been told correctly that the bones have been there less than 10 years, where does that leave us?

From the link:
Obviously this is further along than just the excavation channels. The area looks to be away from the lock ups, I'm struggling to judge how far back they are.

Not sure about being the same owner/business, but there's a site plan here:If that's the spot I'd say it looks like it's in the carpark (ie not under a building), but I also can't tell which side of the smaller gate they're on.
Do you think that main yard (with the lock ups and the big building) is part of the same business. There is a gate between that yard and the smaller yard directly behind the row of buildings. There is also an entrance to Days Garage on the other side of that row, on Oxford Street

Wondering when more news will be released.
I wonder if they were found previously by builders who didn't want to delay so they put them in bags. I've heard of this happening from a builder friend.
Also ancient bones have been found in Whitstable before:
