Laputan Logic has a nice entry summing up the evidence against the recently dismissed James son of Joseph brother of Jesus ossuary (and the Jehoash inscription, too). The previous entry is a good one on Mithras. I remember reading some historian's opinion that the reason Christianity won out over Mithraism was that the former had wider appeal because it accepted non-soldiers and women.
