What happens if you find human remains in your garden?

When a set of bones was discovered at a property in Dorset this month, experts confirmed they were “bones of antiquity”. But what happens when you find human remains in your back garden?

Imagine you have got the builders in and they are digging up your garden.

Then suddenly work stops, and the contractors tell you they have uncovered a set of bones.

This is what happened to a woman from Preston, near Weymouth, who was having an extension built.

The news would probably trigger a whirlwind of questions: Are the bones animal? Are they human? And if so - are they ancient or evidence of a recent murder?

Most pertinently, what happens next?

Some handy advice from the BBC - good to know! ;o)
