Bones dating back to ice age found in Las Vegas backyard
LAS VEGAS (AP) β A couple in Las Vegas said they will have to wait to continue building their pool after construction crews unearthed a set of bones dating back to Earthβs most recent ice age.
Matt Perkins and his husband, who recently moved from Washington state to a newly built home in Nevada, said police and crime scene investigators showed up Monday at their home to analyze the bones.
The pool builders discovered the bones about five feet (1.5 meters) below ground. After an investigation, police said the bones did not belong to a human and raised no law enforcement concerns.
Nevada Science Center Research Director Joshua Bonde said the bones are between 6,000 and 14,000 years old and are those of a horse or similar large mammal.
