The 405 Freeway widening project hit a snag recently when human remains believed to be of Native American descent were found during excavations.
Construction workers found the bones Sept. 25. The location was not disclosed because OCTA officials are prohibited by law from providing a location or description of a grave or sacred places. Agency officials also are concerned that revealing where the remains were found might encourage some people to go exploring for more.
After the bones were found, construction was halted immediately and officials consulted with an archaeologist and the county coroner’s office. Officials suspect the bones are human and of Native American descent.
