Abstract: 

An archaeological survey of the area around Qumran conducted in 1952 as part of the excavation by Pere Roland de Vaux discovered 55 sites, including numerous caves, that showed signs of human use. Between 1988 and 1992 additional surveys were conducted by a team headed by Robert Eisenman, which found an additional 12 caves that showed human use.
