This skeptical stance, however, is by no means shared by everyone. Cross, for instance, asserted that the tribe of Reuben was a catalyst for Yahwism in the period preceding the rise of kings in Israel and Transjordan (in the 10th/9th centuries B.C.). Weaving together biblical, extrabiblical, and archaeological data available to him at the time (1988), Cross demonstrated the reality of an early Israelite presence in Transjordan. Ongoing excavations?at Tall al-?Umayri, the type-site for the Late Bronze?Iron I transition in the region bounded by the Wadi Zarqa in the north and the Wadi Mujib in the south, and at Tall Madaba, which had an early Iron I settlement?now confirm a tribal presence in these Transjordanian areas during the early Iron I.By bringing together applicable anthropological research and relevant biblical, extrabiblical, and archaeological data, Petter outlines a context-driven interpretive framework within which to plot tribal ethnic expressions in the past. From the perspective of the longue durée, we can see that frontier regions tend to exhibit episodic changes of hand: competing sides claimed legitimate ownership, sometimes by way of making the gods owners of the land. 606 $aJews$xHistory$y1200-953 B.C 606 $aHistorical geography$zJordan 606 $aEthnicity$zJordan 606 $aEthnoarchaeology$zJordan 606 $aIron age$zJordan 606 $aIsraeliten$2gnd 606 $aEthnoarcha?ologie$2gnd 606 $aEisenzeit$2gnd 606 $aJews$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00983135 606 $aIron age$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00979145 606 $aEthnoarchaeology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00916070 606 $aEthnicity$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00916034 606 $aAntiquities$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00810745 606 $aJews$xHistory$y1200-953 B.C 606 $aEthnicity$zJordan 606 $aEthnoarchaeology$zJordan 606 $aIron age$zJordan 607 $aMoab (Kingdom)$xHistory 607 $aJordan$xAntiquities$2nli 607 $aJordan$2fast 607 $aJordan$xAntiquities 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aHistorical geography 615 0$aEthnicity 615 0$aEthnoarchaeology 615 0$aIron age 615 7$aIsraeliten 615 7$aEthnoarcha?ologie 615 7$aEisenzeit 615 7$aJews. 615 7$aIron age. 615 7$aEthnoarchaeology. 615 7$aEthnicity. 615 7$aAntiquities. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aEthnicity 615 0$aEthnoarchaeology 615 0$aIron age 676 $a933/.502 700 $aPetter$b Thomas D$g(Thomas David),$f1963-$01510877 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786660703321 996 $aThe Land between Two Rivers$93743781 997 $aUNINA
