Discovery of remains halts work at housing site


Construction on a two-acre housing site in northern California has been halted due to the discovery of a major burial ground.

About 80 sets of human remains and artifacts have been uncovered and just as many are believed to be located at the site. Archaeologist say the area dates back more than 1,000 years.
