But more importantly, I've found no evidence for Mary's Assumption.

The wages of sin are death... please tell me what sin she committed and where she is buried...

There is an old shrine (in northern Israel I think) to the Dormation (sp) of Mary, which is where she was buried, but then taken to heaven. The Coptics and Orthodox (if I understand correctly), don't believe the Mary was taken to heaven before death.
