One more thing I would like to draw attention to before I give this subject a rest for a while is what I see as one of the more interesting problems of context for interpreting the name "Yonah" on this ossuary.
Very simply put, if the "fish," as a fish, is facing "left" then that puts the inscription interpreted as "Yonah" nearly upside-down.
This -- as can been seen -- does not provide a favorable context as it leaves the frames of reference for each claim quite literally at odds.
Thoughts?
