Heritage Western Cape said archeologists will examine human remains discovered in Green Point to determine whether they hold any significant pre-historic value.
The find was made by construction workers along Somerset Road on Wednesday.
Crew members were busy digging trenches when they stumbled upon part of a human jaw and scull, as well as some leg bones.
Archaelogist Belinda Mutti said this is not the first time such a discovery has been made in the area.
"This area of Green Point was an informal burial ground for the city before all of these buildings existed. It was on the outskirts of the town. The poorer population of Cape Town were buried in this area," she said.
