In General

Dead Sea Scrolls and Pottery at Qumran. Dr. Jan Gunneweg. This is a proposal to study the Qumran Pottery. "The Dead Sea Provenience Project concerns the Qumran Pottery found in association with the site and the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. The pottery was submitted to neutron activation analysis (NAA) to learn where the pottery was made."

The Dead Sea Scrolls Project at the Oriental Institute, Chicago. "From the beginning the project developed in several directions. First and foremost, there was the challenging task of deciphering and translating, from photographs, the manuscripts from Qumran Cave Four that had previously remained unpublished. Another aspect has been to explore the overall problem of identification of the authors of the scrolls and, increasingly, to examine the specifics of the Khirbet Qumran site and the theory that the manuscripts found in the nearby caves were composed by a sect ostensibly living there." The site includes: an introduction, articles and annual reports.
