ALICE, TEXAS—Humans remains and arrowheads have been uncovered and removed by archaeologists at a construction site in South Texas. The archaeologists say they do not expect to find additional bones. The site will be part of a park area in the new multi-use complex, so there are plans to eventually return the remains to the site in a memorial.
