The prevailing view in 1988 was that any radiocarbon, possibly arising from in situ nitrogen would either conveniently just disap- pear or else be removed by pre-cleaning the samples. One of the principal

Abstract: 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
