…Gezer have uncovered structures that some attribute to the reign of Solomon based on Biblical accounts.

These structures, however, are now generally dated to the Omride period, more than a century past Solomon's reign.

Excavations on such sites are ongoing.

So far, nothing indisputably of Solomon's reign has yet been found.

The archaeological remains that are still considered to actually date from the time of Solomon are notable for the fact that Canaanite material culture appears to have continued unabated; there is a distinct lack of magnificent empire, or cultural development—indeed, comparing pottery from areas traditionally assigned to Israel with that of the Philistines points to the Philistines having been significantly more sophisticated.

The explanation that a number of archaeologists give for these discrepancies is that due to religious prejudice, later writers (i.e., the Biblical authors) suppressed the achievements of the Omrides (whom the Bible describes as being polytheist), and instead pushed them back to a supposed golden age of godly rulers (i.e. monotheist, and Yahweh worshiping).
