The "verdict" drawn from carbon 14 test was delivered in 1988: its conclusions was that the shroud is a work dating from the beginning of the 14th century.
Paleographic and carbon-14 dating has been used to date the scrolls.

of New York reports about the Carbon-14 dating of the Taj Mahal: "Another item of evidence concerning the alleged date of the Taj is adduced from a radiocarbon date from a piece of wood from a door on the north facade of the Jumuna River's bank.

Carbon-14 dating set the chronology straight however, proving that these Woodland cultures spanned a time predating the monumental architecture of Mexico.
Using the Carbon 14 dating method, it has recently been established that Caral is the largest urban settlement with monumental architecture from the Late Archaic period in Peru.
Carbon 14 dating conducted in 1988 indicated that the Shroud originated in the 13th or 14th century.

Carbon 14 works well for dating things that died a few thousand years ago.

While no organics suitable for radiocarbon dating have been found in the pre-Clovis zone nor in the Pleistocene terrace beneath, organic carbon was found this year in a backhoe trench underneath the block (Trench 14)

Carbon dating is a very specific process: it is used to determine the age of dead plants and animals, and is based on the assumption that the amount of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, in the Earth's atmosphere has remained more or less constant over time.
Unlike many isotopic dating clocks, the radiocarbon clock must be calibrated to account for changes in the atmospheric abundance of the carbon-14 isotope, which varies as a consequence of cosmic-ray bombardment.
SUMMARY Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 carbon dating of rock varnish provides minimum-limiting ages for landforms and archaeological artifacts in arid and semiarid lands that are undatable by conventional radiocarbon methods.

But now with paleographic and carbon-14 dating they have thrown that thought aside and now say that the oldest scrolls may go back as far as the third century B.
