Dear Greg,
Excavations at Tadmor have revealed some Bronze Age sherds, NO Iron Age
(Israelite period), and NO STRUCTURES before the 1st century BCE. An
underground tomb however was found from the 2nd century BCE.
The Excavators suspect that the area was a nomadic encampment, hence the
bronze age sherds. ONLY in the 1st century BCE did structures arise. Cf. my
article on Tadmor at the following url for the details
