Eventually the railroad arrived in the area and the residents eventually moved creating a the new town of Teague in 1906. Teague also has a 3300 foot long airport used primarily for recreational use. Teague is located at 31Â°37â²39â³N 96Â°17â²0â³W / 31.6275Â°N 96.283333Â°W / 31.6275; -96.283333 (31.627618, -96.283353).
At the heart of the Shroud controversy is the validity of the carbon dating performed on three samples snipped from the Shroud in April 1988. The samples were taken from the front foot area of the14-foot-long linen, on which the faint image is laid out in a head to head, dorsal and frontal view.
Radiocarbon dating has enriched archaeology, anthropology, and many other disciplines. The radiocarbon dating process starts with measuring Carbon-14, a weakly radioactive isotope of Carbon, followed by calibration of radiocarbon age results to calendar years. The sample-context relationship must be established prior to carbon dating. Radiocarbon dating lab scientists and archaeologists should coordinate on sampling, storage, and other concerns to obtain a meaningful result. Radiocarbon dating results can be âarchaeologically unacceptable.â
