Debating Qumran
Summary
This volume gathers together eight previously papers by Jodi Magnes, all of which have been completely revised to take account of recent developments in Qumran archaeology and research into the Dead Sea Scrolls. The heavily annotated papers consider such subjects the ceramic evidence for the Qumran community; Qumran as a villa rustica; the chronology of the settlement in the Herodian period; the chronology of Qumran, Ein Feshkha and Ein el-Ghuweir; the excavation of a toilet at Qumran and the discovery of a hoard of coins; the evidence for communal meals and sacred space at Qumran; skeletal and artefactual evidence for the presence or otherwise of women; the evidence of the jars in which the scrolls were deposited.
