Yet another clutch of ancient skeletons has been uncovered during excavations for the Crossrail transport project in central London. It's thought that the group of skeletons dates from the time of the 'Black Death' - the plague which wiped out about a third of the British population in the middle of the 14th century. We spoke to Don Walker, a senior osteologist with Museum of London Archaeology, about the significance of this particular find.
