The field is full of other fascinating questions: Is there a historical record for the cloth before its mid-14th century appearance in France? What about the forensic match to another artifact of Christian history held in Spain? And if this is a medieval artwork, what process might have produced the forensically accurate and anatomically perfect image? Yet even that testing is now itself the subject of renewed and intensified academic debate. While many people of faith believe it to be the burial cloth of Christ, its carbon-14 dating done in 1988 assigns it a medieval date. Since the scientific examination of the cloth in 1978, it is the single most-studied artifact known to exist, and in the decades since, more academic scrutiny has been brought to bear on it from many disciplines. The Shroud of Turin is a piece of linen cloth bearing the mysterious image of a man who has been crucified and scourged in Roman fashion, crowned with thorns, and pierced in the side.
