P.A. (20s-30s. Any ethnicity.)
A very sickly person.

Giuseppi Bianchi is a professor of archaeological biology at Columbia University.
LINE 1: Ayup. He did add, however, that our current project, if we did well, would "Indicate to the funding committees of your seriousness to the public interest, and would reflect well in their considerations next year."
LINE 2: Cause of death remains unknown. Being walled up would indicate starvation or dehydration, but there's absolutely no indication of that. Limbs, where they aren't rotten, look healthy.
