Updating Recent Studies on the Shroud of Turin
Abstract
The Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth alleged to be the burial shroud of Christ, has been precisely radiodated to the 14th century. Nevertheless, its status remains controversial. Is the radiodate accurate? Are the blood images seen on the cloth derived from contact of the cloth with a wounded human body? Is it a painting? If not a painting, what is the mechanism of its formation? Some of the latest research attempting to resolve these matters is presented and reviewed.

Flury-Lemburg (2007) noted a greasy dirt deposit in the area surrounding Sample #1 and Adler (1996) observed heavy contamination on sample threads he examined.
“in contrast to the observations of Flury-Lemburg (2007) who noted a greasy dirt deposit in the area surrounding Sample #1 and Adler's (1996) observation of heavy contamination on sample threads he examined.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
