DESCRIPTION:[b] DIAS Lecture by Kaare Lund Rasmussen\, Professor\, dr.scie
 nt.\, member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. Introdu
 ced by DIAS Chair\, Lars Boje Mortensen. [/b] [nl][nl]\n\nAbstract:[nl]\n
 The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in 1947 in the Judean desert. There were 
 parchment fragments from approximately 800 ancient manuscripts\, and they
  constitute the most important biblical find ever. Most of the fragments 
 were brought to École Biblique et Archéologique Française in East Jerusal
 em\, where a small team of biblical scholars for over 40 years struggled 
 to read\, translate\, and publish them. It soon transpired that none of t
 he important texts contained any date referencing\, wherefore paleographi
 c dating became of paramount importance. Only later\, in 1992 and 1995\, 
 tandem accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating was carried out o
 n a total of 21 fragments. In 2001 it was discovered that the parchments 
 were contaminated with modern day castor oil used by the original team of
  readers in the 1950’s and 1960’s\, leaving the radiocarbon dates from 19
 92 and 1995 untrustworthy. A 20-year endeavor to find a method to clean t
 he parchments was instigated at SDU. [nl][nl]\n\nIn the lecture I will in
 troduce the historical setting of the scrolls in modern times – the What\
 , When\, and by Whom. Then I will describe the handling of the contaminat
 ion and lift the shroud a little bit of the results from an ERC-project i
 n Holland\, Italy\, and Denmark under which auspices the Israeli authorit
 ies have allowed us to make a final and authoritative radiocarbon dating 
 battery soon to be published.    [nl][nl]\n\nThis lecture takes place in 
 the DIAS Auditorium\, Fioniavej 34\, Odense Campus. No registration is ne
 eded.[nl][nl]
