First off, archaeology has little to offer on the NT period. Most of the arguing is over the texts.

Arch listed a series of finds one time, several of which were NT but they really brought nothing new to the table.

Speaking of arguing over the texts, here's another wrinkle.

Per David Icke and Joseph Atwill, the Bible, especially the New Testament, is a fabrication of the Roman Emperors to pacify a rebellious Judea. They also subsequently edited the Old Testament to prophesize about the Roman invented Jesus myth.
