A:

Archaeologists have identified a gradual increase in the presence of small settlements in the mountainous Canaanite hinterland from around 1250 BCE. The settlements were at first more numerous in the somewhat more fertile northern area, gradually spreading south into the area that would become Judah, around Jerusalem. As far as can be established, these new arrivals were the Hebrew people, although a minority of scholars point to population changes shortly before 1000 BCE and believe that this period marks the arrival of the Hebrews.

Answer 2

Just to make the above a little clearer, the region in reference is the Region of Palestine or the Land of Israel (both are names of the same general region). In antiquity, it was called Canaan.
