Abstract

This article considers the collection history of the so-called “Seiyal Collection,” purchased by the Palestine Archaeological Museum in 1952 and 1953. While the Taʿamireh Bedouin and/or Khalil Iskander Shahin reported the material as coming from Wadi Seiyal, much if not all of the material was actually looted from caves in Nahal Hever. The common claim that the Bedouin misreported the findspot to hide the fact that they had smuggled the material from Israel into then-Jordanian-held East Jerusalem cannot be correct, as the caves along both Wadi Seiyal and Nahal Hever are on the Israeli side of the Green Line. The article considers why the provenance was misreported, whether the scrolls team knew that the material had been smuggled from Israel, and the implications of these issues both for our understanding of the scrolls and for scholarly ethics.

塞亚尔收藏 "的出处:历史与影响
本文探讨了巴勒斯坦考古博物馆于 1952 年和 1953 年购买的所谓 "Seiyal 藏品 "的收藏历史。虽然 Taʿamireh 贝都因人和/或哈利勒-伊斯坎德尔-沙欣(Khalil Iskander Shahin)报告说这些材料来自 Wadi Seiyal,但实际上大部分(如果不是全部的话)材料都是从 Nahal Hever 的洞穴中掠夺的。常见的说法是贝都因人错误地报告了发现地点,以掩盖他们将这些材料从以色列偷运到当时由约旦控制的东耶路撒冷的事实,这种说法是不正确的,因为 Wadi Seiyal 和 Nahal Hever 两地的洞穴都位于绿线的以色列一侧。文章探讨了误报出处的原因、卷轴制作小组是否知道这些材料是从以色列偷运来的,以及这些问题对我们理解卷轴和学术伦理的影响。
