Tucson Prehistoric Human Bones Discovery Could Trigger Higher Homeowner Insurance Rates
If you own a home in Tucson, a new discovery of prehistoric human bones in your neighborhood could mean price hikes for your homeowner's insurance. Archaeologists unearthed ancient remains yesterday during a housing development project on the city's southeast side, and experts warn this might legally require stricter—and costlier—dig protection policies for any future construction. That means builders may pass those added expenses on to your next premium or property tax bill. Before you panic, the bones are over 2,000 years old, so no crime scene here—just your wallet taking a hit for history's sake. Check your insurance renewal notice before the end of the month!
