"The renewed excavations at Qumran began in1993, as part of Operation Scroll. In this project, implemented in cooperation with the Israel Antiquities Authority, hundreds of caves were surveyed. The survey began in the area north of Jericho, and continued along the length of the fault scarp that meets the Dead Sea, as far as En Gedi. In scientific terms, Operation Scroll was neither a great success, nor did it achieve the goals it had set for itself, despite the resources and manpower invested. The one ray of light in the operation was the renewal of excavations at the Qumransite, which was fortuitous and unplanned, like the operation as a whole. The excavation continued for10 years, and in 1996 the late Yuval Peleg joined the team, bearing responsibility for the archaeological activities at the site over the years." -- From the preface.
