At a minimum, this would indicate that carbon dating the Shroud might be very technically problematic. Assuming that the thread that Dr. Adler had might have been the one that had been extracted at

Preliminary studies of his material by Maloney (1988) revealed a wealth of additional pollen grains as well as other plant parts. Images of plants were detected on the Shroud by Scheuermann (1983) and

in 1988, the medieval dating of the Shroud by carbon 14 - interpreted as the signature of a fake - launched this archaeological object into the world-wide field of the media. Since then, following

In this paper, we will show how the carbon dust drawing technique used by medical illustrators can be modified to produce images exhibiting numerous features of the Turin cloth. We compared images formed
