Gloucester plague pit

[Epictetus]

Does anyone know if there has been anything published regarding the "plague pit" discovered in Gloucester in 2004?

Mass Roman Grave Discovered in Gloucester

Based upon press reports, it seems that there was some analysis going on, but I can't find any real studies that have been published.

In case anyone is interested, I seem to have answered my own question.

Curiously, the find seems never to have been registered in the annual "Roman Britain in XXXX" round-up in the journal Britannia.*

The book you've discovered is reviewed here: http://dx.doi.org/10.3815/006811309789785783 (not yet on JSTOR, owing to the pesky "moving wall")

* Edit: the two inscriptions were promptly published in Britannia 36 (2005), in the "Roman Britain in 2004: Inscriptions" round-up (pp. 474-477, nos. 2 & 3, + figs. 2 & 3).

Something was nagging at the back of my mind -- and I suddenly remembered this: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/art...0309003288, which is probably what sparked off the press reports?
