The interesting thing is there no figurines depicting gods and no pig bones.

What? Evidence for biblical religion in 1000 BCE? Impossible!

Somebody fouled up. We need to redate the evidence to 150 BCE.

From biblical accounts, little forays into various paganisms seemed to be a problem among the Hebrews almost from the word go, and God was continually getting irked over it. This might or might not have involved figures of gods in any particular instance. Pork being verboten by the official Jewish religion, it probably would not have been commonly available.

...such as alters associated with worship

Shouldn't those be altars?

Based on the Psalms credited to him, and based on the tepid and limp wrist of lesbian-ordaining modern Christianity, King David would be called the head of a “cult” today.
