1 Discrepancies in the Radiocarbon Dating Area of the Turin Shroud M. Sue Benford and Joseph G. Mari no In 1988, Carbon-14 findings from three Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) Labs independently dated a sample removed from the Turin Shroud, unarguably the most widely -studied linen cloth in history. The dates reported ranged between AD 1260 – 1390, thus, leading to the conclusion that the cloth originated in the Middle Ages (1). Since the dating, many hypotheses have been proffered attempting to explain the C-14 results (2), which appear contradictory to a plethora of data pointing to a more ancient origin (3,4,5,6). An acceptable hypothesis of why the Shroud dated between AD 1260-1390 must satisfactorily explain the precise, statistically-determined angular skewing of the dates corresponding with the individual laboratories, with reference to the location of the subsamples received (7). Approximate locations of questionable area used for C-14 dating in reference to full frontal portion of the Shroud. © 1978 Barrie Schwortz
