An ossuary (bone box) was found with the inscription "James, brother of Jesus, son of Joseph" dated 67 AD. Don't know if it was dated by inscription or radioactive elements.
Anyone know more?

If its new it wouldn't have been carbon dated yet. I don't think bone boxes are consistent with first century Palestinian burial methods, but who knows? Its possible. There is an independant witness, first century Jewish historian Josephus makes reference to James also.
