The claimed ossuary of S. James has been exposed as a haox. The owner's house was raided by police who discovered a number of part-made 'ancient artifacts'.

Seems fairly conclusive that the ossuary is a fake and that there is a veritable industry in producing fake antiquities.

I know that in Iran women have been abducted and killed in order to turn them into "ancient" mummies for the antiquity market. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a similar crowd involved here.
