Q: It seems to appear that the people who took the remains of the tomb did an injustice by not keeping everything in tact. Why were the bones contained in the ossuaries removed?

A: Its sort of SOP over there. There are so many tombs that get found, nothing would be built if they did a full investigation of every archeological site, and most scholars knew about this find years ago (I remember reading about it in the nineties in Seminary) but never really thought anything about it.

A: Anne, there is no evidence of a coverup, a lot of scholars have known about a lot of this for some time. I knew about this years ago, but like most scholars, I don't think they have much of a case.

A: Before I saw the documentary, I got the book, as I was aware that all the
information could not be fit into 2 hours including commercials.
OK here it goes, to answer to everyone's question
The Jesus Family Tomb: The Discovery, the Investigation and the Evidence That Could Change History. Jacobivici & Pellegrino

Page 23, First full paragraph of the page..
Timeline ....sometime between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, 1980
"By the time Rivka Maoz entered the red chamber, one ossuary had gone missing, and nine surviving ossuaries were stored in one of the IAA's suburban warehouses. The three skulls from the main chamber, the bones from the antechamber, and all the skulls and bones from the inside the ossuaries, including any loose fragments from the "Jesus, son of Joseph" ossuary, were poured out and set aside for temporary study. According to an understanding between the archaeologists and the rabis, the bones would eventually be turned over to the religious authorities for reburial. There were several large graves reserved locally for the purpose of "respectfully reinterment of ancient human remains"
I hope this answers you questions about the bones.
