Rock age is virtually irrelevant.

Luke 23:50-54 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

Joseph's "new tomb" could have just been cut out of the rock, or he might have just bought it from someone else, who also hadn't used it. We don't know!

Well, it was empty and originally purchased by Joseph.

I would assume the tomb would hold the body of a guy named Joseph.

I mean, waste not; want not!

It’s not like Jesus needed it.
