In this clip, prof. Eibert Tigchelaar identifies several issues with the fake Deut 27:4–6 fragment (DSS F.154). It was introduced by prof. James H. Charlesworth in 2008, and is cataloged as X18 (XDeut[d]) in Emanuel Tov's Revised List (2010). #post2002DSS

I have been reviewing my report on suspected DSS forgeries and the transit of fragments to private collections in the '90s and '00s. Here is an excerpt from an article by James H. Charlesworth that he published in 2012 ... /1

2021-Evans on the #provenance of the #post2002DSS frgs (1/):"There's this chain of evidence and this is unlike ... the #forgeries I was talking about. What typically it was, is: Somebody would have claimed to have obtained it – some antiquities dealer – I got it from a beduin..."
As late as in April 2021 Craig Evans told S McDowell that the #post2002DSS are fake:"The last few year –it's embarrassing– there's been schools that purchased frgs supposedly from Qumran .. it's acient leather but it's modern ink. .. they've been swindled"

A surprising development: “Dr. Craig Evans — a distinguished professor of Christian Origins, and on the board of the Dead Sea Scrolls Foundation — reveals his belief that the vast majority of the contested fragments are genuine”

I see that the 3 fake post-2002 Dead Sea Scrolls-like frgs owned by the Lanier Theological Library are still displayed as authentic pieces of the DSS. They contain texts from Amos 7:17–8:1 and were published by Tov in DSD in 2014.

The provenance story tied to the Montana fragment reminds me more and more of the snippets of information that served as provenance for the post-2002 Dead Sea Scrolls like fragments. @Ludvik_A_K and I gathered most of this data a while ago:

Even though Lee Biondi — antiquities dealer and evangelical Christian — "felt the spiritual power of the material", the frgs have later turned out to be fakes.
