Ontario couple finds 400-year-old skeleton, gets $5,000 bill

I couldn't imagine finding something like this in my back yard, let alone getting stuck with the bill for it.

400-year-old skeleton of aboriginal woman found in Sarnia backyard costs couple $5,000

The story of Nicole Sauve, who found 400-year-old bones in her Point Edward backyard, was ordered to hire an archaeologist, and is now saddled with a $5,000 bill.
'The archeological misadventure began two weeks ago when Ken Campbell came across some bones while digging post holes in their backyard.

He put them aside, thinking they must have belonged to an animal. The following week, his wife, Nicole Sauve, asked about the bones, which sat unceremoniously atop a bucket of earth

“I said, ‘They’re not animal bones, Ken. Let’s dig some more and see what we can find,’ ”she said.

What they found was the rest of the skeleton of an aboriginal woman.'
