continuous radiographic bands in large corner area, also through the side seam into the side strip

[151] [152] , Figure 7 of [45]

transmitted light photo showing continuous bands (also through side seam) “disproves the hypothesis that the Shroud was rewoven in that area” ( [163] p. 9)

similar PMS spectra

[122] , described in Section 4.6

similar FT-IR spectra. Radiocarbon FT-IR “shows physical characteristics of both the waterstain and scorch regions of the cloth.” ( [14] p. 98)

[14] [16] ; cf. Section 4.6

radiocarbon sample is in midst of scorch mark and at edge of pre-1532 waterstain

threads of Raes and radiocarbon corner have loom-indentations due to having been woven on a loom, so not inserted by thread-by-thread ‘French weaving’

[98] [153]

no shown vanillin difference. “No samples from any location on the Shroud gave the vanillin test.” ( [141] p. 43)

no developed color difference between Shroud and dyed assumed ‘patch’

apparently the same stitching of the hem (hem rolled across the seam) and the same unusual (first-century Jewish type of) stitching of seam (2 lines of overhand sinusoidal sewing)

[123] [165]

no black straight sewing thread of patch in X-ray, for there is no opaque black material in X-ray

[97]

no vertical seam of stitched-in patch but continuous float and weft threads

[95] [97]

2-ply S-twist sewing thread of side-seam complies with 1-ply Z-twist of weave

[97]

Raes thread #1 no ‘spliced’ thread but thread only partly dyed/dirtied because other part was protected inside hem or seam; its thread ends are chemically similar and with unexpected silicon throughout length of thread

the greasy dirt on the corner can explain different color in ‘UV-photo’

[100] [123]

all bottom corners of the Quad Mosaic images of the Shroud are green, also where the Shroud has no corner, apparently due to not-uniform illumination
