Extremely dodgy and ambiguous archaeological find in Jordan

...triggers usual round of "This could be the biggest thing to hit Christianity since the Resurrection!!!!" claims from archaeologists with one eye on grant monies.

Basic story: It's got some pictures on it that suggest it could be Christian and it's from the area where Christians fled before the sack of Jerusalem in 70 AD. What it means is anybody's guess. Meanwhile, Israel and Jordan are departing from normal political discourse for that reason and fighting about it.
