If you look through my past posts you will find I almost never reject claims based on sources. I always reject claims based on reasons to reject them. Being a holocaust denier does not produce foundation deposits. Racism does not imply hostility towards a race that was never met. A Jew hater would be the best source possible given the principle of embarrassment. Foundation deposits are conducive to Jewish claims and not what a Jew hater would wish to fake.
However lets forget all of them for the heck of it.
Try instead the quarterly report - Palestine exploration found. The chapter called A foundation deposit.

Another horrible practice was that they called foundation sacrifices. When a house was built, a child would be sacrificed, and its body built into the wall, to bring good luck to the rest of the family. Many of these were found in Gezer. They have been found also at Megiddo, Jericho and other places.

The Jews even adopted the practice at times which further proves that God had justification in wiping out the Canaanites (which did not take place anyway).
Joshua practiced what is called "foundation sacrifice." In order to protect a structure from evil powers, a person was killed and buried at the foundation of a city or building. Sometimes the victim was walled in alive. In this case, Joshua's victim would be someone's first born.
26Joshua laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, "Cursed before the LORD be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."

Carthage was notorious to its neighbors for child sacrifice. Plutarch (ca. 46120 AD) mentions the practice, as do Tertullian, Orosius and Diodorus Siculus. However, Livy and Polybius do not. The Hebrew Bible also mentions what appears to be child sacrifice practiced at a place called the Tophet ("roasting place") by the Canaanites, ancestors of the Carthaginians, and by some Israelites.
Some of these sources suggest that babies were roasted to death on a heated bronze statue. According to Diodorus Siculus, "There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire."(Bib. Hist. 20.14.6)
Sites within Carthage and other Phoenician centers revealed the remains of infants and children in large numbers; some historians interpret this as evidence for frequent and prominent child sacrifice to the god Ba'al Hammon.

I am bored but there exists more than enough evidence to condemn Canaanite practices that can be found in ten minutes searching.
