Abstract

"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.

Abstract

"In Qumran studies, the attention of scholars has largely been focused on the Dead Sea Scrolls, while archaeology has concentrated above all on the settlement. This volume presents the proceedings of an international conference (Lugano 2014) dedicated entirely to the caves of Qumran. The papers deal with both archaeological and textual issues, comparing the caves in the vicinity of Qumran between themselves and their contents with the other finds in the Dead Sea region. The relationships between the caves and the settlement of Qumran are re-examined and their connections with the regional context are investigated. The original inventory of the materials excavated from the caves by Roland de Vaux is published for the first time in appendix to the volume"--

Abstract

Today, archaeology plays an ever growing role in Qumran studies. Fifteen papers presented in 2002 at Brown University provide the necessary data to break new ground in the recent debate about the character of Qumran. Section I discusses material from old and new excavations that help assess the validity of the traditional Qumran-Essene hypothesis. Part II discusses various aspects of the main settlement such as division of space, the character of period III, the date of the cave scroll deposits and the use of food. Part III deals with the Qumran cemetery and a similar graveyard at Khirbet Qazone. Part IV places Qumran into a wider regional context, concentrating on local agriculture and ceramic production. The articles strongly call for a new awareness for archaeological detail and, in their various ways, instigate a renewed debate about how to bring texts and material culture into a meaningful dialogue.
