Not sure I understand your question. Many scrolls have been made available for review and as a result of these reviews many scholars think they betray a diverse Judaism.

Here is an example
uncc.edu
"What is the identity of the Scrolls community? How might one go about solving this puzzle? Our initial steps involve a reconsideration of the religious landscape of Second Temple Judaism. Contrary to popular opinion, Judaism as it was practiced in the era that precedes and parallels the appearance of Christianity was not a monolithic entity. It would perhaps be more accurate to say that there were ‘varieties of Judaism,’ or even ‘Judaisms’ that competed for the intellectual and religious allegiance of the people during this time."
