Papers from a COST Action G8 working group meeting held in Jerusalem, Israel 22-23 May 2005
The present proceedings is divided into 3 sections: 1) Bio cultural investigations looking at the bio polymers that have been preserved in organic materials found at Qumran; 2) Material culture studies in the provenance of Qumran pottery and glass to learn who the “Essenes” have been in contact with the thermo-luminescence to date that pottery, furthermore the identification of textile fibres and organic dyes used to colour textiles that also may provide a C14 date for cloth found in the caves and the settlement of Qumran, whereas 3) Conservation studies on paper and DNA analyses of parchment and other organic remains from the Dead Sea region.
