Further reflecting that Israel has, and has exercised, control over these documents is the fact that the Israel Department of Antiquities has itself assigned publication rights to Dead Sea Scroll materials that were unassigned in 1967 when Israel took control of the Rockefeller Museum. One such scroll was the Leviticus scroll from Qumran Cave 11. The Israel Department of Antiquities assigned publication rights to this scroll to David Noel Freedman of the University of Michigan. See The Paleo-Hebrew Leviticus Scroll (11QpaleoLev), by D. N. Freedman and K. A. Mathews (Winona Lake, Indiana: American Schools of Oriental Research, 1985), p. 2. (See review in Books in Brief.)
