  orion-list 63 BCE
As many on this list know, Hutchesson has been prohibited for several years from discussing his 63 BCE theory on the scholarly discussion lists on which it would be relevant: this list, ane, and ioudaios.
My article gives additional discussion of palaeography and radiocarbon (both of which I argue are ambiguous in establishing post-63 BCE Qumran textual activity) and particularly a treatment of the archaeology of Qumran (for the issue of the deposit date or dates of the texts is fundamentally an archaeological issue).
63 BCE theory in some form appears likely to be ultimately correct, and that the virtually unanimous scholarly consensus of the c.

63 BCE, the best approximate estimate for the actual transition to the types of ware that de Vaux and Magness have noticed are strikingly missing at Qumran.
But a different explanation is that the lack of these types of wares is reflecting a _lack of people_ at Qumran after 63 BCE though the first part of the first century CE-- the time when these wares were in widespread use.
If the scrolls were deposited in 63 BCE then we would expect a number of them to have been written not long before 63 BCE.

 Ancient Jewish Coins Related to the Works of Josephus
The first coins to be used in Judea appeared in the 4th century BCE while Judea was part of the Persian Empire.
Perhaps this is due to the decree of in 47 BCE, Julius Caesar in 47 BCE, in which Hyrcanus is named not king but "ethnarch," and the true power of procuratorship of Judea is awarded to Antipater.
There is somewhat of a change in style for coins dated after 18 BCE, and numismatists suggest that these later coins were actually minted in Jerusalem expressly for use in the Temple.

When the Jews were prohibited from practicing Judaism and their Temple was desecrated as part of an effort to impose Greek-oriented culture and customs on the entire population, the Jews rose in revolt (166 BCE).
Following further Hasmonean victories (147 BCE), the Seleucids restored autonomy to Judea, as the Land of Israel was now called, and, with the collapse of the Seleucid kingdom (129 BCE), Jewish independence was again achieved.

 Theology Today - Vol 50, No.4 - January 1993 - BOOK REVIEW - Judaism: Practice and Belief 63 BCE-66 CE
This detailed study of everyday Jewish life in the land of Israel in the one hundred and twenty-nine years between 63 BCE and 66 CE is the book E. Sanders, Professor of Arts and Sciences in Religion at Duke University, has always wanted to write.
Its uniqueness lies in its author's emphasis on the "common Judaism" of ordinary priests and ordinary people and their forms of daily, weekly, seasonal, and annual Jewish practice in the early period of Roman rule in the land of Israel.
Although these parties certainly reflected real issues of dispute within the Jewish community of the land of Israel, Sanders prefers to concentrate in the first and larger section of his volume on what the entire Jewish population held in common.

This is also the time when the basic foundations of the T12P (Testimonies of the 12 Patriarchs)...previous thought to be of later Christian composition..was laid with its priestly and royal messiahs.
The Nazarenes and the Essenes, however, may have had a common inheritance of tradition in the 2nd century BCE from which we see some of the common terminology in spite of what may have been a parting of the ways on eschatology.
