The Dead Sea Scrolls were found hidden in caves overlooking the Dead Sea and near a first century community at Qumran. Although the scholarly consensus is that the Qumran community owned the scrolls, there is a minority view that the scrolls were quite separate from that particular community.
Most of the scrolls are simply ancient copies of Hebrew scriptures, but a sizable number belong to a community dating back to around the second century BCE. They include community Propaganda and instructions for living in the community, and were, of course, written by the community that hid them, whether or not this was the Qumran community.
