Thanks to the paywall, I can’t read most of this article, especially the part that claims that this is a “Jewish site”.

However, here’s some more info, from freely available sites:

http://www.select.jo/Amman-iraq-il-amir.shtm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qasr_al_Abd

This was the palace and temple of the Tobiah family, descended from the Ammonite Tobiah who had opposed the building of the Second Temple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobiah_(Ammonite)

I wouldn’t call it a “Jewish site”.

"I wouldn't call it a Jewish Site."

Quote from article: "One of the most dramatic archaeological monuments in Jordan -- an admittedly Jewish one -- has been repeatedly misidentified.

Since we are not able (which I hate) to read the rest of the article how do we know that those sites you posted aren't the misidentified claims?
