Evidence for the Skewing of the C-14 Dating of the Shroud of Turin Due to Repairs
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1988, Carbon-14 findings from three Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) Labs independently dated a sample removed from the Shroud of Turin: unarguably the most widely studied linen cloth in history. The dates reported ranged between 126

Textile Evidence Supports Skewed Radiocarbon Date of Shroud of Turin
The most studied artifact in human history is the Shroud of Turin, a 14 by 3.5 foot sheet of linen with lightly-shaded ventral and dorsal images of an apparently crucified man matching the wounds reported to have been incurred by Jesus of Nazareth. In 1988, Carbon-14 (C-14) dating of a corner section of the cloth produced dates ranging from 1260 to 1390 A.D.(1) This paper presents new evidence ...
متن کاملDiscrepancies in the radiocarbon dating area of the Turin shroud
Recent research reported new evidence suggesting the radiocarbon dating of the Turin Shroud was invalid due to the intrusion of newer material in the sampling area. This evidence included the detection of anomalous surface contaminates in specimens from the sampling area. This paper reports new data from an unpublished study conducted by the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) team in 1978...
متن کاملA robust statistical analysis of the 1988 Turin Shroud radiocarbon dating results
Using the 12 published results from the 1988 radiocarbon dating of the TS (Turin Shroud), a robust statistical analysis has been performed in order to test the conclusion by Damon et al. (1998) that the TS is mediaeval. The 12 datings, furnished by the three laboratories, show a lack of homogeneity. We used the partial information about the location of the single measurements to check whether t...
متن کاملHistorical Support of a 16 th Century Restoration in the Shroud C - 14 Sample Area
Modern-day museums abound with ornate medieval and renaissance woven tapestries, which have been meticulously restored throughout the centuries. Although weaving can nowadays be described as a “dying art,” history tells a much different story about this trade and the abilities of 16 Century artisans. These masterful artisans could repair a woven textile such that the repair was virtually “invis...
متن کاملOligocene partial melting in the Takab metamorphic complex, NW Iran: Evidence from in situ U-Pb geochronology
U-Pb ages obtained on zircons from the investigated migmatites place new constraints on the evolution of the crustal rocks in the Takab area. SHRIMP U-Pb dating of inherited zircon in the melanosome parts of mafic migmatites from the Takab complex gives a discordant age with an upper intercept of 2961±72 Ma (MSWD=0.5) and a lower intercept of 24.2±5.7 Ma (MSWD=1.7). In the concordia diagram, th...
