The grisly discovery was made by construction crews working at a building site in Narrumson Road, New Jersey.
The find, which was made on Tuesday, consists of what are thought to be the skulls and skeletal remains of three people who had been interred beneath a property at the site.
It was pretty clear from the outset that what the crew had found were human remains.
"We were digging for a new foundation and we encountered actually three skulls and a lot of bones," said paving company owner Bob Wiley, who also noted that one skull was smaller than the others.
It appeared from the proximity of the remains that the skeletons had been buried together.
The building site was promptly shut down so that police officers could conduct an investigation.
Since then, speculation has been rife over who the mysterious victims could be.
Some have suggested that the workers may have found a Native American burial ground, while others have put forward the possibility that the skeletons are those of a serial killer's victims.
Others, again, maintain that the discovery could be some sort of family burial plot.
It will be critical for authorities to first determine if the deaths were recent or historical.
"It would be immensely improper for our office or the Wall Township Police Department to provide further information or details at this time, given the need for further forensic analysis," said Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago.
