Includes mention of ostraca and "a collapsed cave believed to possibly contain rare scrolls."
Unlike Kh. Qumran, Masada does not have rain runoff from higher hills and from a sometimes-broken aqueduct system. It's drier.
Some Masada ms survived in part because of the casemate wall and an area with tannin from leather. I know nothing about the "collapsed cave" mentioned, but further ms fragments from Masada are at least possible.
