The Area A 'fortress' was apparently an isolated, short-lived phenomenon, since it went out of use at the end of the tenth century, when the first building in Area S was constructed.
Accordingly, all culture change at this time is explained by the effect of the seventh - sixth century BC Assyrian Empire on its less developed periphery in what is today the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
This is the area that includes the regions of Edom, Moab and Ammon - terms that originate from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and are still used by archaeologists, scholars, the Tourist Board of Jordan (http://www.see-jordan.com/brochures/biblical_moses.html), and others for these regions in Jordan.

 NPS Archeology Program: Archeology for Interpreters
For example, if a sample is tested and given a radiocarbon date of 1000 BC.
To increase the range of possible dates of a sample, archeologists may calculate the radiocarbon date to two standard deviations.
As a rule, the more standard deviations used, the larger the probable date range for the sample and consequently, the higher the probability is for that sample to fall within the expanded date range.

with a standard deviation of plus or minus 120 years, the chances are two in three that that sample dates from between 1120 and 880 BC.
As a rule, the more standard deviations used, the larger the probable date range for the sample and consequently, the higher the probability is for that sample to fall within the expanded date range.
