Native American remains were discovered earlier this week in a construction area of UC Berkeley, university spokesperson Janet Gilmore confirmed to SFGATE.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bones were discovered Wednesday, and the news\u00a0was\u00a0first reported by the Berkeley Scanner<\/a>. Gilmore said authorities believe the remains are not connected to a crime. The Alameda County Sheriff\u2019s Office was the agency that determined the remains were \u201clikely Native American,\u201d and police are not involved in the case,\u00a0Sgt.\u00a0Kevin Vincent with the UC Berkeley Police Department told SFGATE.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to the Berkeley Scanner, the remains were found in the area set to be the new beach volleyball complex at the university. (The complex, which will be located at UC Berkeley Campus Park, west of Edwards Stadium, is expected to be completed by this summer, according to UC Berkeley\u2019s website<\/a>.)<\/p>\n This week wasn\u2019t the first time human remains were found at the university. In 2023, a construction company notified police<\/a> about\u00a0skeletonized remains found in an abandoned building on UC Berkeley\u2019s Clark Kerr Campus. The remains, which actually had been discovered two years prior<\/a>, were determined to be the bones of a man who was a victim of a homicide<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Native American remains were discovered earlier this week in a construction area of UC Berkeley, university spokesperson Janet…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144,1692],"class_list":["post-273333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-sfgnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
