The above link is to an Amazon review of the book by a published archaeologist (?) who responds to the issues you raise. If you are interested in a response to your points, this reviewer is quite articulate and appears to be as knowledgeable about the relevant content as you are. I’d be interested in your response to what this reviewer says.
