Judahite

The two seventh century forts in the deep south— Kadesh-barnea in the west and Haseva in the east—were identified as Judahite according to some pottery types and in the case of the former a few Hebrew ostraca, but mainly according to the idea of the great expansion of Judah in the time of Josiah.

This last structure was identified as a Judahite fort because of a certain resemblance to the Judahite forts in the Beersheba valley, because a few Hebrew ostraca were found there, and because the general historical evaluation of Josiah’s reign suggested the likelihood of Judahite expansion into this area.

The extent to which these exiled individuals assimilated (especially if they did so because they felt no particular connection to the Jerusalem cult at the end of the exile) would also affect how much the current canon and liturgy reflect the views of people invested in maintaining a certain (Jerusalem-centered) way of life and cannot be assumed to reflect the views of the average Israelite/Judahite before that period.

I never took to much stock in the idea that the early Israelite and Judahite kingdoms were illiterate, the circumstantial evidence didn't seem to support it so it was only a matter of time before inscriptions would pop up.
