Also the romans conducted several surveys to number the towns and people in their new land after they had a Roman govern take over. So if there is no archeological evidence of a town, and no record of a town, why should I think there was a town?You mean there is no record apart from the couple of 1st century sources that you dismiss. Interestingly, the only noteworthy feature of this village according to those sources is that the village wasn't very noteworthy . . . Which is why I'm still confused as to what records you would expect to have, as if every single city, town, or village in the history of mankind has had its name conveniently preserved for our sake.
P.S. Apparently excavations in Nazareth that date to the 1st century haven't been as fruitless as you'd wish to believe: http://m.livescience.com/49997-jesus-hou...areth.html
