[01] Recent archaeological excavations have concentrated on Khirbat en-Nahas, inside Jordan, as a copper producing site interpreted as an Edomite location belonging to the time of King Solomon. The dating was accomplished on the basis of the `massive fortifications, metal production facilities and more than 100 building complexes, as well as Egyptian scarabs of the 13th to 11th centuries BC'. The Egyptian scarabs, if typical for the 18th dynasty period, may actually indicate dates between 1000 to 800 BC; if the 19th and 20th dynasties (Ramses II & III) time are included it would include the late 7th - 4th century BC.

[03] The reign length of Tutankhamun is usually given as 10 years which is supported by a cache of 36 amphorae/jars in his tomb with hieratic labels and with dates ranging from the 31st year of Amenhotep III to the 10th year of Tutankhamun. See Bryant G. Wood, Egyptian Amphorae in BA, June 1987, p. 75-(78)-83.
