Excavations

Considering the fact that the finding through 1947 to 1956 of nearly nine hundred scrolls in various conditions, largely composed on parchment, along with others on papyrus, extensive excavations of the settlement are already undertaken. Cisterns, Jewish ritual baths, and cemeteries are already discovered, along with a dining or meeting place and vestiges coming from an higher story alleged by some to have been a scriptorium as well as pottery kilns along with a tower.
