Dear Dr. Tabor,

Are there any ideas as to the meaning of the symbols above the door? Could these be of religious significance? Could the ossuaries have been all brought to that particular grave site long after the death of Yeshua, or the others?
I noticed that not all ossuaries bear "son of". Such did not appear with Matia,Yose, and is this ever done for women, i.e. "daughter of".
Is there any significance to the plain ossuary of Yeshua, vs. the highly carved ones for Maria, Matia?
