Re: The Vinland Map's Ink

Mr. Stevens wrote this earlier:

"At the moment we have a potentially viable hypothesis re contamination
(Enterline's) which we cannot dispose of as we don't know enough about
the composition of the ink to reach even a tentative conclusion either
way."

Plenderleith's bleaching procedures (1937) more than likely inspired
Jim Enterline. You have been the skeptical skeptic. The procedures, if
followed rather than modified, would not make the transfer of anatase
to the front of the document possible. And, this is so irrespective of
whether or not the parchment itself might be gelatinized. Does the fact
that Enterline's contamination experiment has been "modified" so that
it does not follow the procedures in use at the time alter your opinion
as to its viability as an explanation for the modern anatase seen in
the VM ink?
