Gawlikowski speculates that perhaps beneath the earthen mound upon which the temple of Bel sits, are the ruins of earlier temples and the city of an earlier age.
Tadmor's rise to fame as a "caravan trade city" was in the 1st century BCE when the earliest ruins appear.  This archaeological anomaly suggests that the Chronicles had to have been composed not earlier than the 1st century BCE.
Until future archaeological work establishes an earlier history for Tadmor, the present evidence suggests the city was created not earlier than the 1st century BCE (a 2d century BC tomb is not proof of a city's existence), and rose to fame as a caravan city in the same century.

 The forced conversion of the Jewish community of Persia and the beginnings of the Kurds
In the 1st century BCE a Jewish State was set up around Nehardea by two brothers, ANILAI (Anilaos) and ASINAI (Asinaios), and this lasted for many years.
Many modern Jewish historians like Kahle (1959), who believes Adiabene was Jewish by the middle of the 1st century BCE, and Neusner (1986), who goes for the middle of the 1st century CE, have tried unsuccessfully to reconcile this chronological discrepancy.
In the later 3rd century, the academy of Pumpedita was founded to replace that at Nehardea (destroyed in 261 CE).

But there is nothing comparable in the 1st BCE-1st CE that permits terminus a quo information for script types for palaeographic dating this way.
It must be considered that there is something amiss with an estimate in which 25-75 CE are considered the outer extreme limits of the possible dating, but an ad quem of 68 CE is admitted to be overly precise.
The palaeographic date estimate of DJD III cannot be granted weight in dating the Copper Scroll to the 1st century CE as opposed to 1st century BCE.
