TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PATRICK MOSER Tanya Treiger, one of four women in charge of the conservation and restoration of the 2000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls at the Israeli Antiquities department, holds a manuscript from the biblical book of psalms at a conservation laboratory in Jerusalem on January 27, 2010. The job of the four women, all immigrants from the former Soviet Union, is to ensure the manuscripts, which were found half a century ago on the shores of the Dead Sea, are exhibited in ideal conditions and to restore the tens of thousands of fragments that suffered not only from the ravages of time but also from past conservation efforts.
