Now the serious part: does there exist a map of what-was-taken-from-where-when?

Somewhat. Since the inception of scientific examination, records have been kept. The worst of this "scientific" examinations occurred in the secret "restoration" in which uninformed restorers, in an attempt to put out the fire of 1532 (someone told them that the charred areas could still be expanding), snipped away all of the charred edges and "vacuumed" the rest of the shroud for contamination, and put the results in plastic baggies according to defined zones - which destroyed any in situ evidence that could have been garnered in the future.

That isn't yet another wrinkle. Iron traces are observed in all of the data, so it being 2006 so you may know of a POD book that came on to the shroud landscape. To be honest I haven't read it I have very very recently bought the book entitled "R A P E of the Shroud"; and though I have yet to read it. One of the main issues is about if there is a need for additional dating. I'd like a link or email of a initial paper that questions the (scientific) competence and honesty of "shroud science" early on:Hey, Did anyone ever own the article where "[They] ..present results of X-ray fluorescence measurements on the Shroud of Turin X-ray fluorescence and visible light examination of .. as uniform background distributions. Iron traces are observed in all of the data spectra but their local concentrations vary. Comparisons between image and off-image areas reveal no differences, within the precision limits of the data, that would indicate the presence of pigments or dyes containing high-C elements. . regions the measurements show significantly higher concentrations of iron., in the reported "blood" stained region" X-ray fluorescence has no link on the Web so, share it with us, K ?
