Who are the people living in Qumran?
The article focuses on the work of Gabriele Boccaccini and Ben-Zion Wacholder. It’s clear at least that Boccaccini was not interviewed, or the author would have worked out that he is a man.

The Great Isaiah Scroll
One of the great gems dug up amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls was the Great Isaiah Scroll. It dates to about 100 BC and is the only complete scroll to have been recovered from Qumran. It is 7.34 metres long.
You can view the scroll here, but be aware it’ll take a while to load over broadband. Take some time to look at the rest of the site too. As well as the excellent Shrine of the Book, there is a good section on the Second temple.
