Israel seeks more Dead Sea scrolls
The Associated Press
Palestinians
Palestinians charge that the latest hunt for artifacts is a last-minute plunder before Israeli withdrawal.
WADI MAKUK, Occupied West Bank — Amid charges of last-minute plundering, Israel sent 16 teams of archaeologists fanning out across the occupied West Bank in a massive search for more Dead Sea scrolls yesterday.
Ancient documents, including poetry, legal texts and the earliest known sections of the Bible, were found in Judean desert caves near the Dead Sea over a 10-year period starting in 1947.
"We hope that there are other scrolls, and if there are none, then our consciences will be clear. No one can say we never looked for them," said Efrat Orbach, representative for Israel's AntiTensions Authority.
Scholars believe further scrolls could shed light on ancient Jewish sects and groups that may have influenced early Christian thought.
But "Operation Scroll" has prompted criticism from both Palestinian and Israeli archaeologists, who say Israel shouldn't launch an artifact hunt before the antiquities issue was discussed in Palestinian-Israeli peace talks.
Israel signed a U.N. convention in 1954 that forbids excavation and removal of "cultural assets" by foreign occupiers.
Palestinians have demanded the return of all artifacts already taken by Israel from the occupied territories. They called the latest hunt a last-minute plunder.
"The Israelis know they are leaving, and that is why they are taking this last chance of discovering finds," said Nazmi Joubi, a Palestinian archaeologist and adviser to the peace negotiations.
Much of the West Bank area being searched will be in a Palestinian self-rule zone soon after Israel starts its withdrawal Dec. 13.
Archaeologists say the chances of finding any scrolls are slim since most caves have already been either looted or explored by archaeologists during excavations dating back to the 1950s.
Nevertheless, dozens of government archaeologists and surveyors were taking part in what is the most extensive hunt for antiquities in the Dead Sea area since Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in 1967.
In this dry river bed near the town of Jericho, a two-man team sifted through desert dust, goat droppings and 5,000-year-old human bones in a cave halfway up a 1,000-foot cliff.
They collected pottery and some cloth, which they took for dating. They were certain they had been the first to enter the cave
since it was used for burials in the Stone
Bronze, or Chalcolithic age, about 3500 B.C.
"Professionally, I am looking for anything, but in my soul I would like to find scrolls," said archaeologist Idan Shaked, gray dust caked to his face.
"It's not a treasure hunt," he said handing a metal detector to his colleague, a chrome 9mm pistol dangling on his hip. "But it has a small touch of Indiana Jones."
At Qumran, home of the ancient sect that stashed the scrolls in the caves for safekeeping more than 2,000 years ago, Antiquities Authority chief Amir Drori set up base to command the operation.
Driori denied the operation was politically motivated.
"We've been planning this for over four years. We are doing it now because we finally got the funds and all the permits we needed," Dori said.
But Aharon Kempinski, professor of archaeology at Tel Aviv University, said the effort was political because Dori wanted to ensure nothing remained for the Palestinians.
Archaeologist Dan Bahat said the operation was inconsistent with the peace effort.
"On the one side, we talk to the Palestinians, and on the other side, we take things which belong to them," he said.
