Human remains, established as pre-1900s, have been dug up at a Waikato residential development site.
The remains were found yesterday morning near Frontier Rd, Te Awamutu, Sergeant Rob Pierce said.
The area is a part of Waipa District Council's T2 growth cell, which will provide a new retirement village, residential
properties and a local reserve.
The historic remains were found by digger workers carrying out earthworks.
