An Ottoman-era grave in Israel 's Negev desert holds the remains of a woman and a boy who might be her son.

Islamic tradition states only one person should be buried in a single grave, although allowances can be made for practicality and emergencies.

Archaeologists think the woman and boy, who lived to between 10 and 15 years old , may have been mother and son, and that the son had first been buried somewhere else.
