Anthropology is the best place to start. View timelines and so forth. Pay close attention to the summarians.

The Bible Unearthed is great for an archaeological overview of the transition from late Canaanite to Hebrew civilization, though since the concentration is on the Hebrews it doesn't go into much detail about the earlier Canaanites or the Phoenicians.
Most of its arguments are summed up here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_Unearthed#Content but the actual book goes into a lot more detail about the archaeology of the region.

This. It's a bit generalized for a popular audience, but Finkelstein is a legitimate scholar, and he does a great job of summing up the archaeology of the area.
