The entire issue of Qadmoniot vol. 30, no. 2 (114) 1997 [just arrived in North Carolina] is devoted to Dead Sea Scrolls. One article, by F. M. Cross and E. Eshel (p. 134-6), is on the much-discussed Qumran ostracon. It includes a defense of their reading of line 8 and gives illustrations of other yods, chets, and dalets, some of them from Masada.
