independent scientifically conducted radiocarbon 14 tests that estimated a date range of A.D. 1260-1390.

I thought these were determined to be flawed and invalid tests.

Those radiocarbon test were made on the place on the shroud that were handled by the monks/priests holding it up each week. The corners were also contaminated by repairs made in that same period.

The (single) radiocarbon test strip was NOT redundant - made from different areas of the shroud and was not taken from a clean area, and it was NOT duplicated by other labs. Only by the single test from the single contaminated location. Kind of like trying to determine the age of your 120,000 car by sampling the oil - 2000 miles after it has been changed.

The test did verify the shroud was handled in the Middle Ages. It did NOT verify the Shroud was woven in the Middle Ages.

They were to those who follow the science.
