I seem to remember a paper sometimes in the 60's that supported Bill's
Hasmonean
era assignment on the basis of comparative palaeography with DSS
texts...none of
which, if I can venture an opinion, were common era. For the life of me, I
can't
remember the citation, Let me know if you find it. 1968 stands out in my
mind
because Bill was still alive when it was published and had mentioned it to
me.
