More on the Shroud of Turin
A Russian team has released a rebuttal of the claim that 16th-century contamination with vegetable oil invalidates the 1988 radiocarbon dating of the Shroud to the 13th or 14th century.

See http://right-mind.us/archive/2005/02/19/1878.aspx -- Moscow Resident Reproduces the Shroud of Turin.
The article is published in the March/April 2005 edition of Books and Culture (though it's not up on their website yet). The article is titled Father Brown Fakes the Shroud and describes both the formulation and testing of the Shadow Theory: that the shroud image can be created using only painted glass and sunlight.
It seems like an easy enough thesis, easily reproducible, would have been a simple technique for the medievals, and a reasonable explanation for what we see.
