Abstract

Over the past five decades, the sciences have come to our aid in examining several material aspects of the scroll fragments, their coverings and stitching material. The sciences can help us in determining the date of the scrolls, whether fragments derive of the same sheet by DNA, C14, and follicle patterns in parchment and fibers in papyrus. Advanced photographic techniques can retrieve previously unreadable letters and identify fragments and determining the relation between fragments of scrolls with the aid of computer-assisted research.
