The discovery near Holborn Viaduct off Fleet Street of a Roman ‘bed burial’ has caught the attention of several online sites. The objects found near it belong to the first phase of Roman civic life in the period 43 to 80.

The discovery is also covered by the Evening Standard at 1st-ever complete Roman 'bed burial' recovered from under London
The Daily Telegraph has a more detailed account at ‘Flat-packed’ Roman funerary bed found at 2,000-year-old British burial site
The Mail Online has a similarly detailed account at Britain's first Roman funerary bed is discovered in central London
Live Science has another detailed account of the burial and finds at Last resting place of first Roman Londoners - complete with a bed - found in Holborn

Given all that has happened in and around the former Londinium over two millenia it is really amazing how it still continues to reveal itself to modern archaeological investigation.
