MEDIEVAL CEMETERY ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED BY ZAGREB CHAPEL

( Editorial: --> 7374 ) ZAGREB, Oct 10 (Hina) - Several human bones were discovered 40- 130cm below ground near a chapel in Zagreb on Saturday. According to Zagreb police spokesman Josip Begovic, the bones near St. Martin the Hermit's were discovered by workers of the Graditelj construction company who were renovating the 13th century chapel in the Zagreb district of Podsused. The chapel had already undergone reconstruction in the 1930s. According to first police reports, the unearthed bones are very old and the site is most probably an accidentally discovered medieval cemetery. The present renovation works have been suspended until the site is explored by experts of the Monuments Protection Institute and the Archaeological Institute. (hina) ha 101233 MET oct 98
