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."
