Human remains, established as pre-1900s, have been dug up at a Waikato residential construction site. 

The remains were found in Frontier Estate, Te Awamutu, said Sergeant Rob Pierce. 

They were found by digger workers carrying out earthworks. 

Pierce said a skull and other bones were discovered. 

The bones are to be uplifted by a local iwi.
