Crucifixion Burials

Bach:

 I saw a television documentary
 that seems to bear out what Ed is saying......that of all the burial sites
 that have been excavated in the ANME area, only one set of bones found in
 an ossuary with others showed any obvious signs of death by
 crucifixion.....it had a bent over metal spike still in place between bones
 of either the feet or hands as I recall.    >>

Oh, oh.  I hope you're wrong about this Bach.  I just read a post from Crea
that indicated that the skeleton from the ossuary had a spike driven through
the ankle bone, not "between" bones.  Your comment goes directly to the very
heart of my question about the archaeological evidence Tyler has been claiming
virtually proves that burial of the remains of crucified persons virtually
never occurred.  I've been trying to discover whether nails were almost always
driven throught bone, or through flesh.  If the latter, then there would be no
evidence to find, unless the remains had been mummified and showed nail holes
through flesh.  In the earlier post I asked for clarification:  does anyone
have credible information which shows that nails went through the bones and
not around them?  Also, what's the story with the skeleton from the ossuary?
Did the nail go through the ankle bone as Crea's reference noted, or around
it, as Bach is indicating?
