Tell-Hisban has earliest occupation starting at about 1250 to 900 bc with possible Reubenite habitation, as anwalled village.
Other unidentified nearby sites such as Tell al Umayri, and Tell Jalul give early pottery signs of occupation from the middle, and late bronze ages, and up into the Iron age. These two are the more likely contendors for the Heshbon of Sihon's time.
However, Tell-Hisban is the same Heshbon as that which Mesha the king of Moab mentions (c.800's bc). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.225.65.89 ( talk) 03:48, 20 April 2006

Lead & article: we need a clear distinction between
Two, maybe 3 different sites!
So, what is the topic of this article? Biblical Heshbon (if we stay focused on the tell: Israelite the earliest, but NOT Sihon's), the classical towns with similar names from ancient sources, or the concrete Tell Hisban with whatever it is known to contain? The confusion is deadly, it makes the page be largely misleading and close to useless.
