A. 55 As in the case of eschatology, Jubilees furnishes us with a point of connection. More, it shows us that the calendar served not only to regulate the cult but as a basis for the chronology which allowed the “computation of the ages” and which stimulated the periodization of history and the calculation of the “last times,” elements of obvious inÁuence on the development of the eschatological hope characterizing the Qumran sect.

Khirbet Qumrân est au centre de la région où les grottes sont dispersées el certains d’entre elles, les grottes 4Q et 5Q , 7Q a 10Q , sont, situées à proximité immédiate des ruines. L’identité de la poterie des groltes et de celle du Khirbeh quant à la pâte et aux formes et, spécialement, le grand nombre des jarres cylindriques qui ne sont pas encore attestées en dehors de la région de Qumrân supposent que cette céramique vient d’un même lieu de fabrication: or, on a mis au jour dans le Khirbeh un atelier de potier,” DJD III, 32.
