Does Archaeology Confirm the Exodus and Conquest?

We can observe a massive influx of people (~30,000 people adding to the ~20,000 that already lived in Palestine) into the highlands of Israel c. 1200 BC. These new people had a distinctly different pottery and ate essentially no pork, whereas that was a staple meat of the former inhabitants. There is an Egyptian record of a people in the right area called (a phonetic equivalent to) Israel in 1209 BC.

The exodus/ conquest of Canaan as told in the Bible doesn’t line up well with Biblical archaeology.
And wandering desert tribes wouldn’t be likely to introduce new styles of pottery.
