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.
