Appendix, bibliography, and index.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.Studies on the texts of the desert of Judah ;v. 57.Excavations (Archaeology)West BankQumran SiteCongressesQumran communityCongressesQumran Site (West Bank)AntiquitiesCongressesElectronic books.Excavations (Archaeology)Qumran community933Galor Katharina925933Humbert Jean-Baptiste283980Zangenberg Jürgen864971MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454196403321Qumran, the site of the Dead Sea scrolls2078909UNINA
