Yes, recent scientific studies have conclusively proved that the Shroud can be dated to the period 300 BC to 400 AD in or near the Holy Land. You may view all the evidence at the Shroud of Turin website, and read the article from USA Today at the links below.
From USA Today, 30 March 2013Many experts have stood by a 1988 carbon-14 dating of scraps of the cloth carried out by labs in Oxford, Zurich and Arizona that dated it from 1260 to 1390, which, of course, would rule out its used during the time of Christ.
The new test, by scientists at the University of Padua in northern Italy, used the same fibers from the 1988 tests but disputes the findings. The new examination dates the shroud to between 300 BC and 400 AD, which would put it in the era of Christ.
It determined that the earlier results may have been skewed by contamination from fibers used to repair the cloth when it was damaged by fire in the Middle Ages, the British newspaper reported. The cloth has been kept at the cathedral since 1578.

Where was Jesus' shroud found?
A:Several 'shrouds of Jesus' exist, most famously the Shroud of Turin, but little is known of where they were supposedly found. Expert evidence is that none of them was the genuine shroud of Jesus. However, a shroud has been found, that must have been similar to one used for Jesus. Archaeologists from the Hebrew University and the Albright Research Institute, both in Jerusalem, have discovered the first known burial shroud in Jerusalem from the time of Christ's crucifixion. The shroud was found around the remains of a man in a sealed chamber of a burial cave in the Hinnom Valley overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. Researchers say the weave and design of the shroud discovered in a burial cave near Jerusalem's Old City are completely different to the Turin Shroud. It was made with a simple two-way weave - not the twill weave used on the Turin Shroud, which textile experts say was introduced more than 1,000 years after Christ lived. Instead of being a single sheet like the famous item in Turin, there was a separate piece for the head. This was very important because when they brought someone to burial they would place the head wrapping separately on the face in case the person wasn't actually dead and woke up again, they would be able to blow off the face wrapping and shout for help.
What is the monetary value of the actual original Shroud of Turin or an estimate of the price?
It is hypothetical. It is highly priceless. Catholic church will never sell. Recent scientific studies prove that it is the grave cloth that did cover Jesus of Nazareth of first century. C14 done was flawed because it was done on 15th century repair patch of cotton cloth whereas the Shroud of Turin is flax linen.

Why is Turin important to Italy?
Tens of thousands of people visit Turin, each year, to see the famed Shroud of Turin or the church which houses it (when it is not on display). It is the legendary burial cloth of Jesus, and contains all the "proof" that is needed for devout believers. The Shroud of Turin seemingly has the imprint of the outline of the body of Jesus, and is a wonder to behold. However, when fragments of the cloth were allowed to be taken for radiocarbon dating, the cloth proved, scientifically, to be no older than the 13th century A.D. Catholic church supporters offered various explanations for this discrepancy in dates - of more than a millenium. Impurities in the cloth were thought to have been tested, rather than the cloth itself. The fragments, which were used in dating, were believed by others to have been part of later additions of cloth - so that it would not appear tattered and full of holes (but could still remain holy!). It is still contended, by critics, that the oldest portions (not yet identified) of the cloth have not been dated. In any case, Turin is still visited, mostly for the famous shroud, but for many other interesting sites, as well. Yet, it is a beautiful and interesting city, in its own right. It is a large city in northern Italy, with approximately one million inhabitants, and two million in the greater metro area. It contains a thriving business district, as well as its historic center, and sacred places of worship. Turin is the tenth most visited city in Italy, and among the 250 most visited cities in the world. Turin was also the central site of the 2006 Winter Olympics.
