That would be me (I have no life). I found the following
abstract from the New York Times:
FOREIGN DESK | October 16, 2001, Tuesday
'Body of St. Luke' Gains Credibility
By NICHOLAS WADE (NYT) 885 words
Late Edition - Final , Section A , Page 14 , Column 4
ABSTRACT - New DNA analysis gives tentative support to
belief that remains in ancient lead coffin in Padua, Italy,
are those of St Luke, traditionally considered author of
third Gospel and Acts of the Apostles; Dr Guido
Barbujani, population geneticist at University of Ferrara,
has extracted DNA from tooth in coffin; concludes it is
characteristic of people living near region of Antioch, on
eastern Mediterranean, where Luke is said to have been
born; radiocarbon dating of tooth indicates it belonged to
someone who died between 72 AD and 416 AD.
