From the cited article ...
Haas had also identified a scratch on the inner surface of the right radius bone of the forearm, close to the wrist. He deduced from the form of the scratch, as well as from the intact wrist bones, that a nail had been driven into the forearm at that position.

Sounds pretty sketchy compared to NT,
he told Thomas to put his finger in the holes in his hands, (think I got that right)

You may also be presuming that every crucifixion was identical in methodology ...
Recall that Peter was crucified upside down ...

Crucifixion was not the only method of execution by the Romans,
ever heard of the Ten Martyrs?
But according to the story in NT he had holes in his hands and big gash in his side.
Stick to the story otherwise one can easily drift into the realms of fantasy.
I never use wiki, ever.

Trinity
In the fourth-century, Marcellus of Ancyra declared that the idea of the Godhead existing as three hypostases came from Plato, through the teachings of Valentinus. Valentinus is quoted as teaching that God is three, three prosopa (persons) called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit:
These men also taught three hypostases, just as Valentinus the heresiarch first invented in the book entitled by him 'On the Three Natures'. It was believed he was the first to invent three hypostases and three persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but he was discovered to have taken this from Hermes and Plato.
Valentinus (also spelled Valentinius) (c.100 - c.160) was known as a early Christian Gnostic Theologian.
It should be noted that Nag Hammadi library Sethian text such as Trimorphic Protennoia identify Gnosticism as also professing Father, Son and feminine wisdom Sophia or as Professor John D Turner denotes, God the Father, Sophia the Mother, and Logos the Son.
