On first reading, when it started talking about tomb reuse and the age of some of the graves found around it, I was left wondering just who was actually buried there.  :-[

You're not alone in that wonderment, Jim!  When stated early on that this "was thought to be" the alert went off on my  "skeptometer".

Lots of "may have been" statements with very little to back them up.

I think it could be concluded that it is a military person of some rank above commoner, and that's about it.
