I pass the construction site for the new Bayport terminal on my way home from work every day It is a couple of miles from my house.

Yesterday, I saw a bunch of squad cars and some television trucks at what is nothing more than an industrial construction site.

Seems they made a surprise discovery.

Authorities on Monday were combing through an area near the new Bayport terminal after a work crew discovered a human skull.

Pasadena police and officials with the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office, including an anthropologist, were called to the site in the 12800 block of Port Road about 9:45 a.m.

After searching the area for other clues, police also found a leg bone and a shirt, Pasadena police spokesman Vance Mitchell said.

"We are not sure if it is a man or a woman," Mitchell said of the skull found in a field near where a crew was surveying.

Additional testing will determine if the skull and the leg bone were from the same person.

Mitchell said it appears the skull had been in the field for some time because there was no flesh on it.

This may slow down the construction for a bit.

I'll let you know if it is anything really exciting.
