Police believe the bones could have been buried there up to 50 years ago
Mystery surrounds, for the moment, the identity of remains found beneath a house in the centre of Almería in the La Chanca area of the city.
Workmen working at the site of the semi-ruined house on Calle Francisco first found a skull beneath the flooring, and then came across other human bones, some of them so deteriorated that parts of them had turned to dust.
Reporting on the discover this Thursday, El Mundo said the skeleton could have been buried there as long ago as half a century.
The bones are to be transferred for expert analysis in Madrid and police say there will be no murder investigation if violence proves to be the cause of death, owing to the length of time which has passed.
