Paging Textcritic
Anything notable about this find that you're aware of that wasn't covered by the CBC article? Sounds like they were found as part of a structured and official search so hopefully that's unequivocally good news.

This is very good news, and as you pointed out, this bit in the discovery is crucial: "They are the first new scrolls found in archaeological excavations in the desert south of Jerusalem in 60 years."
IAA supervised excavations tend to be rigorously controlled and documented. Criticism directed toward them is more focused on their treatment of sites in accordance with Zionist principles, and less so with regards to their actual excavation practices.
