Be sure not to miss "Scroll Search," by senior editor Daniel Weiss, in May/June 2017's From the Trenches. Weiss reports on the continuing hunt for undiscovered Dead Sea Scrolls in caves near the town of Qumran in the West Bank. Archaeologists there recently discovered a cave containing a tantalizing range of items associated with the scrolls, including jars of the sort that sometimes contained scrolls, straps of leather used to tie scrolls, and even pieces of blank parchment.
In every issue of ARCHAEOLOGY magazine, From the Trenches features the latest archaeological news from around the world, and this time includes new insights into a Viking boat burial in Scotland, the discovery of a Bronze Age jewelry workshop on a Kuwaiti island, and the uncovering of a secret Nazi weather station in the Arctic. This issue's Off the Grid takes readers to Columbia Hills Historical State Park in Washington State, where several dozen pieces of ancient rock art removed from a nearby area flooded by a dam project in the 1950s are now on display.
