Jesus Discovery/Talpiot tombs latest

DAVID MEADOWS has a clear, concise, and links-rich post up at Rogue Classicism which summarizes the discussion and the current state of play regarding the Talpiot (Talpiyot) Tombs controversy: Talpiyot B / Patio Tomb Roundup ~ The Final Nails in the Ossuary(ies).

Background here and links.

UPDATE: Christopher Rollston at the ASOR Blog: THE FOUR-LINE GREEK INSCRIPTION FROM A TALPIYOT TOMB: EPIGRAPHIC NOTES AND HISTORICAL DISCUSSIONS, with a new and very interesting interpretation of the inscription.
