I believe many, many archeologists do not think out of the box....It looks like they are...but really, they've made their own little box with their own little scripts and rarely yield to another. Turin is a good example.
The moral of the story??
GRANT MONEY is forever.
I also believe that perhaps 75 % of these diggers have a side market.

If they were rational human beings this would cause some severe cognitive dissonance among the Palestinians.
On the one hand they demand they they are the legitimate owners of the Dead Sea Scrolls and on the other hand they deny the Jewish Temple or Jewish civilization ever existed in the area.
But then if they were rational human beings, there would be peace.

"Gone is the Ark of the Covenant. We're never going to find Noah's Ark, the Holy Grail.Possibly, but we do not yet know for sure. Only God knows that. Makes me wonder about the writer.

The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia,
and the Holy Grail is buried on Oak Island in Canada.
See? That wasn't hard.

Why go after the complicated answer when the simple one works.
Someone established a religious community.
The community established a library of religious documents.
They stored the library documents in the caves where they would be protected from weather, fire, and theft.
At some point the community disbanded (or was destroyed) and the library documents were left behind forgotten in the caves.
IMHO, probably the only thing unique about this religious community was that they stored their library documents in a cave. I’m sure there were a number of religious communties and synagogues in the area that had better libraries, but becuase the stored their documents in the main building they were eventually destroyed by fire, stolen, or disintegrated due to poor storage conditions.
It is the cave as storage facility that makes the essenses unique. Not everything else.

Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?
I thought Al Gore had admitted to writing them (in between sessions with masseuses).

deciphered a two-thousand-year-old cup with the phrase "Lord, I have returned"
Which, instead of proving that the Dead Sea Scrolls were written by multiple groups, proves that Jews of the day did a thriving business selling souvenir mugs to pilgrims in the temple courtyard...

Simple explanations are best.
Worn out scrolls, scrolls by heretics or forgers that contain the 4-letter name of God, have always been placed in a “genizah”. The Genizah at Cairo was also a spectacular find.
A scroll in a genizah could not be assumed to be authoritative without other evidence.
But there are no theological axes to grind in a humble genizah.
