Textile analysis of two further fragments (A1A, about 14 x 3.5 mm, and A1B) of the Arizona sample, compared with the control textiles: flax fibres consistent with the main body of the cloth, no cotton observed, no evidence of contamination. Summarises the sampling of 21 April 1988 and the controversy since.
