The Qumran digital model: An argument for archaeological reconstruction in virtual reality. - 316 p.

Adviser: William M. Schniedewind.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2008.

The nature of the settlement of Khirbet Qumran has been at the center of archaeological debate since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the nearby caves. Recent research and publications have renewed questions regarding Roland de Vaux's initial conclusions about Qumran: that the site was built and occupied by the Essenes, who composed the Dead Sea Scrolls there. This dissertation examines the history of interpretation of the settlement at Qumran and introduces a new digital methodology for examining archaeological sites using virtual reconstructions. The process catalogues archaeological data as geometry and allows for the juxtaposition of competing architectural interpretations using "data-switches" in addition to showing diachronic developments using "date-switches." A fully interactive, three-dimensional, real-time, virtual reconstruction of Qumran serves as the test case for future use of this technology. The merits and methods of reconstructing archaeological remains in a digital environment are discussed.

520 $a It is concluded that after an initial Iron Age occupation, the site of Qumran was established as a fortress during the Hasmonean period. This fortress was then abandoned and reoccupied by a small religious community that expanded the site in a communal, non-military manner. The research concludes that the archaeological data do not eliminate the possibility that a sectarian group, with a keen concern for ritual purity, and participating in agricultural, industrial, and scribal endeavors took up residence in the former fortress. The dissertation concludes that this group was ultimately responsible for the library of documents found in the nearby caves, commonly known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
