"More bones have been found at another construction site on Mackinac Island.

Last fall, hundreds of human bones were unearthed during the excavation of the former McNally Cottage.

Now just a few bones have been discovered on the site of a remodel for a Main Street store. The island's police chief, Jeff Marks, says it's not yet clear they're human, but if they are he believes they're likely of Native American ancestry. That's based on where the site is located."
