     I suspect, Jim, this is a way of backing into the "pollution" visited
     on the scroll while peregrinating, which is why I for one am highly
     suspicious of many of the C-14 dates done without taking that factor 
     into account.  More than smoke can get onto parchment...

     (But if more than smoke, why not smoke too?)
