DeVaux discovered that Qumran was originally settled sometime in the Eighth Century BCE as a defensive outpost of the southern Jewish kingdom of Judah.
This phase was likely closed by two catastrophes: an earthquake and massive fire in 31 BCE (an alternate theory holds that a Parthian Persian invasion in 40 BCE may have been the main cause of Qumran's destruction).
There is no question that the population of Phase II was Jewish, although a few noteworthy changes in one or two of the buildings hint that their practices may have been slightly different.

There is no good reason to question Josephus' report that his own father, Matthew, was born in the last year of Archelaus' reign [6 CE].
But in order for this Matthew to be the son of a Joseph who was born in the last year of Queen Salome's reign [68 BCE], the father would have been 74 years old when he sired a son.
While not beyond biological credibility, it is more likely that at least one or, more likely, two generations were dropped in Josephus' hasty recounting of his family's history at the beginning of his apologetical autobiography.
