That was not a creationist hoax. At least I don't think it was.
It was just some dealer out for money.
True, Ned, but seeing that creationists with media access made a fuss about the discovery of the ossuary (ossuaries?)along the lines of it validating Jesus and the Bible, I think it qualifies for a fraud. Wasn`t it archaeologists who exposed the dodgy inscription, leading to the arrest of the forger?
Sorry I don`t have headline links. One can only stand so much twaddle. :-)
