520 |a Pottery from Qumran and Ein Ghuweir was analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis to establish the provenience of the pottery. The goal of the analysis was to illuminate the interactions among these two religious communities, Qumran and Ein Ghuweir (both located on the shores of the Dead Sea and thought by most scholars to be Essene communities), and the rest of the world. The analytical results show that some of the pottery from both sites originated in Jerusalem. In view of the strict purity laws to which the Essenes adhered, one might expect that the inhabitants of Qumran and Ein Ghuweir would use only ceramic wares of their own production. However, because these sites were not self-sufficient in agricultural supplies, commodities such as oil and wine had to come from elsewhere. We felt that it was not unreasonable to assume that members of the Essene sects manufactured this pottery either at Jerusalem (one day's donkey journey away) or at Jericho (a two-hour walk). However, it was surprising to find here non-local Jerusalemite pottery of vessels such as dishes, which could not have been used as containers.
