dated 1 CE (i hate that term - it is AD) with crosses all over the place.

Of course you realize that the cross did not even begin to be used as a Christian symbol until the second century, and did not become popular until the 4th century.

I think the crosses come from some other source than early Christians.

Plausibly correct.

Possibly not AS correct as assumed.
