The architectural evidence from Begram provides a date of the 1st century CE for the construction of the buildings where the ivory and bone carvings were found.
The discovery of the Tillya-tepe ivory comb dating to the 1st century BCE or, in some scholars’ opinion, to the early 1st century CE, suggests that commerce in Begram-type ivory and bone objects occurred at least that early and thus provides additional support for a possible 1st century CE date for the Begram objects themselves.
Given the establishment of a consistent 1st century CE dating for all the comparative ivory and bone objects, however, the question in a comparison to stone monumental art should be not whether the ivories might conceivably be dated in separated eras, but rather whether they can be dated contemporaneously.

 Updates on the Ossuary of Ya'acob bar Yosef and the Temple Tablet by Rochelle I. Altman
The yod in "achuid" is actually a normal yod as in "yeshua." As the elongated first yod in the second part of the inscription is merely a slip of the chisel, one cannot date anything by the form of these yods.
Hence, the yods on this part of the inscription date to between the 6th century BCE and the 1st century CE.
The two yods on the second part are inconsistent, made at different angles, and as the elongation of the yod in “achuid” is merely a slip of the chisel, are still distinct from the vavs.

It is not at all clear that the "calendar issues^Å in the Qumran mss" can be attributed to a "profound disagreement with the Hasmonean administration of the temple" as you suggest.
The case for dating the War Scroll to 163 BCE, based on both military evidence and historical allusions (see my articles in DSD), provides a new and more rigorous foundation for historical conclusions regarding the origins of the sect.

And to that may be added a general scholarly consensus that virtually all of the Qumran pesharim are 1st century BCE compositions (and none later)--with the only dispute there being whether they all are 1st BCE or maybe one or two are 2nd BCE.
And then there are the mishmarot texts, 1st BCE, and some of us agree the CD copies (since CD postdates the appearance of the 1st century BCE TR).
Then if you accept the argument that the 1QHymns texts and their spinoffs either represent an idealized TR's voice, or assume his prior existence as a figure, and the TR is 1st BCE, you have the 1QH texts and spinoffs 1st BCE.

 Redating the Dead Sea Scroll Deposits at Qumran.... by Greg Doudna
Abstract: There was no actual basis for de Vaux’s confidence in 1952 (when he announced the first excavation findings from Qumran) that the scrolls of Cave 1 had been deposited as late as the first century CE, since the dating of a "scroll jar" found in locus 2 was uncertain.
A distinct, earlier first-century BCE occupation at Qumran was discovered by de Vaux in the second excavation season in 1953.
On the basis of this new information, de Vaux courageously said to the world concerning the earlier dating of the scroll deposits that he and the other archaeologists had held: "je me suis trompé," "I was wrong," in a famous announcement in Paris in 1952.
