Dinodino, there aren't any because none have been authorized by the owner of the Shroud. . . however, the one done in 1988, at this point in time, because of the flawed sampling, proved beyond any doubt, has NO scientific validity, so stop citing false, invalid data.

It has as much value as if they dated an old tennis shoe found in the vicinity of the Shroud and merely claimed that the mere proximity of that shoe to the shroud is sufficient to date the Shroud. It matters not that this piece of material had been sewn into the Shroud, it was still neither homogenous or contemporaneous with the main body of what the labs were told they were going to be dating.

You are beating a dead horse. . . and you show your absolutely closed minded position in your trolling behavior. A true scientist tosses out falsified data and moves on, a pseudo-scientist prefers the false data because it validates his prejudice.

Sorry you don’t like it, but it’s not just me.

The Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth commonly associated with the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, has undergone numerous scientific tests, the most notable of which is radiocarbon dating, in an attempt to determine the relic’s authenticity. In 1988, scientists at three separate laboratories dated samples from the Shroud to a range of 1260–1390CE, which coincides with the first appearance of the shroud in France in the 1350s.[1]

These results are generally accepted by the scientific community. This dating has been questioned by some, and doubts have been raised in particular regarding the representivity of the sample that was taken for testing. The various alternative hypotheses have all been refuted by scientists.”

How do you explain this?

“Leading STURP scientist Dr John Jackson further discounted the possibility that the C14 sample may have been conducted on a medieval repair fragment, on the basis that the radiographs and transmitted light images taken by STURP in 1978 clearly show that the natural colour bandings present throughout the linen of the shroud propagate in an uninterrupted fashion through the region that would later provide the sample for radiocarbon dating. This could not have been possible if the sampled area was a later addition.”
