Abstract A preliminary study presented at Columbus Conference on the Turin Shroud in 2008 identified three different types of scourge marks on the body image. By means of a new kind of image processing, the characteristics of the three marks have been better highlighted and the results are also verified through comparison with signs experimentally produced by different kinds of whips on a proper carton paper. It experimentally results that imprints similar to those observed on the Turin Shroud can be obtained if at least two whips are used: a bunch of flexible rods and a flagrum.
