From alleged internal astronomical references (AVS XI.7) it has been surmised that the Atharvanic period included the time when the Pleiades occupied the spring equinox (roughly 2200 BC).
Further, tradition suggests that Pippalada, one of the early collators, and Vaidharbi, one of the late contributors associated with the Atharvanic text, lived during the reign of prince Hiranyanabha of the Ikshvaku dynasty, interpreted to mean that the core AV composition was at least complete by 1500 BC.
The Atharvaveda is also the first Indian text to mention Iron (as śyāma ayas, "fl metal"), so that scholarly consensus dates the bulk of the Atharvaveda hymns to the early Indian Iron Age, corresponding to the 12th to 10th centuries BC or the early Kuru kingdom.

But Hinduism (and within Hinduism even the particular tradition of Rama worship) does not in any way depend on the belief that Rama was born at that or another site, just as Christianity and Islam are not really dependent on their respective claims to specific pilgrimage sites.
Similarly, it so happens that Rama, according to the texts describing his career and glorifying him, was a member of the Ikshvaku dynasty ruling in Ayodhya; there is no other Rama than the Rama from Ayodhya.
The agreement among all those concerned that Mohammed was born in Mecca and Rama in Ayodhya may have certain ritual consequences, but is by no means the defining dogma of the respective religions embodied in Mohammed and Rama.
