You have established the likelihood that the shroud comes from the general era. When does anyone first claim that the item is the actual one in question? Has it been considered that a shroud taken from someone else's grave some many years later but reasonably within the era would produce a similar set of artifacts to study? I recall from Miller's history that the very idea of artifacts was essentially brought up by Constantine. Before that, no such things had been given any ink or concern (according to Miller, as I recall).

Or is everyone expecting certain things and so they are found. It is interesting how we study some things with a skeptical eye so that it must prove its status, and other things with expectation and can't see the problems and gloss-overs.

I will resist the idea of asking about images found on other things. People who want to see them see them. The rest do not.
