Dear Dierk,

As John Collins writes in the Anchor Bible Dictionary, s.v. Dead Sea Scrolls,
"this label is used in both a narrow and a broad sense. The narrow definition 
is restricted to mss found in 11 caves in the vicinity of Khirbet Qumran. The 
broad usage includes documents found at Masada, Wadi Murabba`at, Nahal Hever, 
Nahal Se'elim, and Nahal Mishmar."
