It is my understanding, that Salm admits there was a settlement of Nazareth much earlier than Jesus, and within about 100 years prior to the time of Jesus. As well as after the time of Jesus. And as Ehrman cited; pottery, coins, wine and olive presses from the time where found in this area.
Frankly, I believe those scholars who found evidence, rather than those who seem to not want to find any, and have to explain away the evidence.
Then again, I don't really believe that you are interested in the truth either. This is based on something more emotional!
Evidence that a town existed - garbage middens, many houses, shitloads of pottery shards, you know, some indication that the story was true.
Since you have made it clear that you far prefer ignorance to learning this will probably be wasted on you but I post it because not everyone on this thread is as terrified of having their fairy tales upended as you are. Read it or not.

The segment on the Nazareth Farm Excavation tells us what the "evidence" did find.
And Chad, that's why you need to look at the whole name and not worry about some useless jesus freak like Ken Ham.
