Special Note on the burial box mentioned
in the following stories: |
| It was not uncommon for there to be two burials of a
person during this era. Upon death, the body was placed in a tomb. After a
sufficient period of time for the body to deteriorate, the bones were then
placed in a burial box. This box, called an ossuary, had the name engraved
on it & was then reburied. |
