This is part of the tomb where the shrouded man was found.

A team of archaeologists and scientists has found the first known pieces of a burial shroud from the time of Jesus in a tomb in Jerusalem. The researchers, from Hebrew University and institutions in the UK, US and Canada, including Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., say the cloth is made of a simple two-way weave. It is different from the complex weave of the controversial Turin Shroud, believed by some to have been used to wrap the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. The discovery suggests that the Turin Shroud is from another period than first-century Jerusalem.
