Well, the new is in spanish, so I'll write a brief synopsis of what is telling about. The necropolis was discovered three years ago, and then the government authorized that excavation. This is located in a neighborhood of Vicalvaro, Madrid. Now the government has declared "irrelevant" and "little interest" such finding, as it plans to build apartment blocks above. The gothic bones have been taken away and the plan is to destroy them, and all the possessions and metalwork found therein because, as commented again, there's no "interest" among the public administration for the finding preservation. 

Just letting you know.

All the best.

Kaine.
