I believe the article I'm thinking of is E. L. Sukenik's "The Earliest Records of Christianity," The Journal of the Archaeological Institute of America 51 (1947): 351-365. If I'm mistaken, I'll post more later.

within Crossan's "Excavating Jesus". In it, Crossan claims that upon further review of Sukenik's claims, they don't stand up. The crosses appear to be mason's markings, not religious symbols, and it isn't even clear the graves are those of Christians. The article you referenced is available from jstor for $14, but may be accessed for free from any number of college libraries. ...I'm more inclined to buy Crossan's book though. |
