It was part of the Shroud we have today, just not part of the Shroud as originally made. The C-14 test sample was a melange of original 1st Century Flaxen Linen and Seventeenth Century cotton patch threads interwoven together to repair a worn corner using a technique called "French Invisible Reweaving."
