I’ll see what I can work up on the next couple of days.  Did you have something in mind, that it does not?

Pretty much everything I can think of doesn't link up with archaeological evidence, and if we're able to stretch an event to match, the timeline is wrong, so anything you could come up with from an unbiased source would be acceptable.

What do you consider as an unbiased source?  

It seems to me, that archeology is constantly finding things which go a long with the Biblical story (and that many of the arguments against are just absence of evidence arguments with a misunderstanding of what expectations should be in ancient archeology).  It seems that there are numerous examples where "experts" have claimed that the evidence doesn't match up, and entire people groups mentioned in the Bible did not exists, only to have to eat their words upon later discoveries. 

The main issue that I am aware of, is the exodus, which revolves around some disagreements about dates.  Those holding to later dates, saying that their isn't evidence, and those who figure on earlier dates saying that there is support (along with Jericho that follows).  The other major disagreement with the exodus (even considering a earlier date) , is with the number of people.   And there are some reasonable explanations here as well. 

And with the new testament because it is more recent, then we have better support for.  There are multiple accounts, hostile and third party corroboration, the history of the Church which followed.  I find that all this meets the historical method fairly well.

Here are a few links to some support for the Old Testament support.

Archeology and Ancient History are not an exact science.  And when you look back, you can see trends in even the scholarly work, that move in favor of, and against the Bible.  I think we are moving back to a point where the popular expert opinion is against the Bible.  But when you look at this, it's not citing some new information which was discovered, or a pivotal point which has been reconsidered with new and better reasoning.  It's largely just the current trend in opinion and mood.  Which is why I always ask what are the facts, and what is the basis for the conclusion in this regard.
