Centuries-old human remains unearthed in Cebu town

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 3) — Archaeologists unearthed centuries-old human skeletons in Daanbantayan, Cebu.

Among the remains were Chinese ceramic artifacts.

“Dr. Jobers Bersales and his team of archaeologists unearthed anew human skeletons initially believed to be 600-800 years old based from the Chinese ceramics that were previously excavated,” the Daanbantayan local government said Thursday.

On Feb. 14, construction workers were digging a drainage ditch in front of the Lamberto R. Te Cultural Center in Barangay Poblacion, Daanbantayan, Cebu when they first unearthed the site.

The initial assessment was then authorized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
