 This claim has been criticized by both Joe Zias, former curator of the museum, and Kloner.Each of the ten ossuaries contained human remains, said to be in an "advanced state of deterioration" by Amos Kloner.The tomb may have been multi-generational, with several generations of bones stored in each ossuary, but no record was kept of their contents and no analysis appears to have been done to determine how many individuals were represented by the bones found.
