How will they be able to determine if the remains are indeed those of the Apostle Paul?

Pretty easy, really. The thorn in the side will be a dead giveaway...

Couldn't one indication be if they determined the person was beheaded rather than crucified.
Supposedly, Paul had the "privilege" of being beheaded rather than killed in a more gruesome manner because he was a Roman citizen.

I would assume since the sarcophagus was made at the same time that the Church, that Emperor Theodosius commissioned to be built, that the Vatican and the Imperial Court would of known who was in the prior sarcophagus. We can only assume that those at the time prior to 390AD would of kept up with where St. Paul's tomb was.
