Bones found in a seven-meter pit during the excavations for the Metro station in the Olympic Center in Santo Domingo are those of an animal, according to technicians of the Dominican Anthropological Museum (Museo del Hombre Dominicano). Diario Libre reports that Glenys Tavarez, Director of the Department of Physical Anthropology who was in charge of the investigation reported she was sent by the Museum Director to determine to which period the bones correspond and whether they are related to a particular period in Dominican history. The President of the Dominican Republic Academy of Sciences, Nelson Moreno Ceballos said that they were willing to contribute to identifying the findings characteristics, whether it is archaeological or not. The Academy is willing to put together an inter-disciplinary commission to study the bones, said Moreno. He also warned that they should not be touched before being analyzed.
