Another lead sarcophagus in Gaza?

ARCHAEOLOGY: 2nd Roman-era sarcophagus uncovered at Gaza's cemetery site (huaxia, Xinhua).

In February I noted the excavation of a lead sarcophagus at the Roman-era cemetery in Gaza. According to this Xinua article, a second one was found there in March. This is the first I have heard of it.
