Stegemann - allegedly their breadth would fit that of a "typical scroll". If their breadth is correct stated, well, then these tables would otherwise fit only for a children's birthday party or perhaps for snow-white and the seven dwarfs but not for a horde of hungry adults. Fact is, I have not yet seen a single picture of the # 967-972 table collection of KhQ loc.30. However, o find all objects and coins (last updatate: 2002): http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/KTF/qumran/eng/search.htm then click on "to the database SEARCH" at the bottom of the page and the rest is more ore less self-explanatory, e.g. Qumran Loci Nr [12] (the rest blank) leads to the stuff of KhQ loc.12, i.e. two coins, a sewing needle (frag. bronze), a bronze blade (frag), a cup, a dish and two pithoi with their object numbers. Please tell me, if we have a better database elsewhere. _Dierk _______________________________________________ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
