One of the stolen papyri in the Obbink scandal has been returned and published. It turns out to be a previously unknown collection of the sayings of Jesus, possibly 2nd century - which would make it older than almost all of the New Testament.

One expert says no bc of the non-canonical material in this fragment - it overlaps with the Gospel of Thomas also - but I think it's worth more study for sure.

How can we be sure the other stuff wasn't also in Q?
