Which is why I referred to it as a press release by the IAA :-)
On the other thread, you also posted this link and wrote: "The Israeli Antiquities Authority is as scholarly as it comes in archaeology."
That may be so, but this is a press release, not a scholarly work. Moreover, it was nothing but a blatant attempt to lure pilgrims to the tourist trap that is Nazareth over the Christmas holidays.
That is why this press release wasn't followed up by an official IAA report or an article in an archaeology journal.
