Abstract

Archaeologists excavating caves outside the ruins of Qumran have identified a residential quarter inhabited by the Dead Sea sect 2,000 years ago. The dig is being conducted by Dr. Hanan Eshel of Bar-Ilan University and Magen Broshi, former curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Israel Museum, with financial support from FARMS.
