  • Partial skeletal remains were uncovered at Site 6, Site 11 and a nearby unmarked spot in the Banglegudde area following adjustments to the excavation sequence.
  • About 100 bone fragments and associated material, including a saree, are under forensic examination to establish age, gender and possible cause of death.
