Abstract

Dead Sea mud, famous for its therapeutic properties to the human skin is also an important ingredient in the understanding of the Dead Sea make-up and its ecological system. Some questions will be answered concerning the possibility to make the mud into a ceramic and what the Dead Sea may contribute to the degradation of the Dead Sea scrolls found in its proximity.
