The scrolls found in this cave were poorly preserved because they were not stored in jars. The practice of paying “per piece” led to the creation of multiple fragments from single pieces by the Bedouin thieves.
Cave 6. This cave was not used for inhabitation, but only for the storage of scrolls. This is the most accessible of the Dead Sea Scrolls to visitors today (follow the aqueduct from Qumran to the hills and the cave is on the left).
The last Dead Sea Scrolls found to date were found in this cave. Thirty scrolls were found including Leviticus and the Temple Scroll. The Temple Scroll was held by the antiquities dealer Kando until 1967 when being put in jail by Yadin, he agreed to sell it “of his own free will” for $110,000.
The Copper Scroll was found in this cave in 1952. This was the only scroll photographed in situ. The Copper Scroll is on display in the Amman Museum and lists 63 treasures hidden in the Judean wilderness and Jerusalem area.
It is one of those in the marl terrace close to the site of Qumran (also caves 4, 7, 8, 9, 10). Archaeologists estimate that there were originally 30–40 caves in the marl terrace. Fragments of 25 scrolls were found in this cave.
What scrolls were found at Qumran? 1 Most of the scrolls are books of the Old Testament. 2 Translation of Scriptures. 3 Non-Biblical literature, such as the Book of Jubilees. 4 Rules and daily life of the Essenes sect. 5 Tefillin and Mezuzot. 6 Poems and Hymes. 7 Additional Non-Biblical Compositions.
The discovery of cave 1, sparked also the research and the excavation of the archeological remains that were scattered on the hill opposite to caves 4 & 5.#N#Qumran was a flourishing Jewish settlement that existed during the Second Temple period (7-8 Century BCE). It is believed that its inhabitants were members of the Essenes sect. The settlement was inhabited by a men-only community that lived a cooperative life. It is considered to be the world’s first known monastery (Jewish). One of the most famous people from Qumran is John the Baptists, that was part of the community before he started baptizing.

THE DEAD-SEA SCROLLS. In 1946, a Bedouin teenager accidentally found seven ancient scrolls housed in jars in a cave in the wadi near Qumran. He had no idea that this was the beginning of such a significant discovery. Today we know that the Dead Sea scrolls are one of the most important archeological findings in Israel’s history, but at that time, ...
In early 1949, archaeologists located Cave 1; This sparked the archaeological research of the area. In this cave, one mile north of Qumran Canyon remains of at least 70 manuscripts were found, including passages belonging to the original seven scrolls.
During the Great Revolt against the Romans, the sect sided with the rebels. The residents of Qumran prepared themselves for the worst and hid their precious treasures (the scrolls) in the caves. The Romans indeed conquered Qumran (68AD), destroyed it and dispersed the sect, leaving the ruins abandoned for almost 2000 years. Today, impressive remains can be explored at the Qumran National park.
At that time, the Bedouin continued to search for scrolls, as they recognized it’s commercial potential. The Scrolls that the Bedouin found in other caves proved that the finds in Qumran Cave 1 were not accidental and that there are scrolls also in other caves in the Judean Desert.
The text is a list of sites in the Judean Desert and around Jerusalem (Perhaps the places where the temple treasures were buried). Alongside the Copper Scroll, there were sections of about 12 biblical and non-biblical scrolls, including a copy of the Book of Jubilees. Qumran Cave 4: Was discovered by Bedouins in 1952.

Qumran Cave 4 (4Q) – Discovered by Bedouin treasure hunters in 1952, who were exploring right under the noses of archaeologists excavating the site of Qumran.
The Dead Sea scrolls are the Oldest Old Testament Greek and Hebrew Bible manuscripts that originate from five sites on the western shore of the Salt Sea at six sites: Qumran, Wadi Murabba'at, Wadi Sdeir, Nahal Hever, Nahal Se'elim and Masada. Bible manuscripts from the time of Christ have verified the Old Testament text we posses today have not changed in 2000 years. Both Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Tanakh (Old Testament) have been discovered and currently reside in museums. Another important ancient source of Bible texts are small papyrus Phylactery and Mezuzah manuscripts which were considered to be favorite passages.
1. “Isaiah 9:6 reads, “she shall call his name” in the Masoretic Text, but the LXX and now the great Isaiah scroll read, “His name shall be called,” a matter of one less consonant of the Hebrew alphabet. (Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics, p 188, 1999 AD)
Early site analysis. The site of Khirbet Qumran had been known to European explorers since the 19th century. The initial attention of the early explorers was focused on the cemetery, beginning with de Saulcy in 1851.
It is located on a dry marl plateau about 1.5 km (1 mi) from the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, near the Israeli settlement and kibbutz of Kalya.
Coins from Qumran are one of the most important groups of primary evidence from the ancient site. Much of what has been written on the chronology, the occupational periods and the history of Qumran is based on the preliminary report and lecture by the original excavator, Roland de Vaux in 1961, which was translated in 1973. A tentative list of the Qumran bronze coins along with Roland de Vaux's field diary from the excavations was published in 1994 in French, in German in 1996 and in English in 2003. The first reconstruction of the Qumran bronze coinage, including a complete coin catalogue with up-dated and cross-referenced coin identifications, was done by Kenneth Lönnqvist and Minna Lönnqvist in 2005. Also in 1955, three very important silver coin hoards were found at Qumran. The first lot of the Qumran silver coins was published by Marcia Sharabani in 1980. The last two hoards located in Amman, Jordan, were published by Kenneth Lönnqvist in 2007.
Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947–1956, extensive excavations have taken place in Qumran. Nearly 900 scrolls were discovered. Most were written on parchment and some on papyrus.
Robert Donceel and Pauline Donceel-Voûte focused their research on the small finds amongst de Vaux's unpublished materials from Qumran, including, but not limited to, glassware (55 newly catalogued items), stoneware (53 new items), metal wares, and coins. Contrary to the belief that the inhabitants of the site were poor monastics, Donceel and Donceel-Voûte suggest that the residents were actually wealthy traders, with connections to the upper class and wealthy in nearby Jerusalem. They ultimately suggest that Qumran was a villa rustica, or wealthy manor house that may have been a winter or year-round second home to some wealthy family from Jerusalem. (At the same conference as the Donceel's presentation, J. Magness reported that from what she saw of the pottery in the Rockefeller Museum that "there was very, very little in the way of fine wares". Eric Meyers, next, said "I concur; my visits also corroborate that. I see an affirmative nod from Professor Donceel-Voute." Rachel Bar-Nathan also notes, " [a]t Jericho, there is also a striking lack of luxury ware, with only a few painted shards in the whole repertoire." )
De Vaux's excavations uncovered about 1250 coins (569 silver and 681 bronze coins) altogether from Qumran, though today some Qumran coins have been lost, some lots mixed-up, and records less accurate than ideal.
It is best known as the settlement nearest to the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, caves in the sheer desert cliffs and beneath, in the marl terrace. The principal excavations at Qumran were conducted by Roland de Vaux in the 1950s, and several later digs have been carried out.
