Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
The Shroud of Turin was studied at Duke University in the 1980s.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The documented record of major 20th century Shroud research doesn't include Duke. The 1978 STURP team drew scientists from places like Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Sandia Labs, IBM, and the Air Force Academy, and the 1988 radiocarbon dating came from Oxford, Arizona, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. No Duke connection shows up in that history.
