My doctoral dissertation on the ceramics of early colonial San Salvador is now available if you have access to the UMI/Proquest dissertation database. I went the extra mile and gave them a pdf of my creation, so it is text searchable and has color imagery.
The citation is

Divination "Game" and First Druid Grave?
http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/02/11/druid-grave.html
The preservation on this thing sounds fairly incredible.
I would note the inherent notion that a proper Druid wouldn't be messing around with anything Roman. Many assumptions there about lack of contact across Europe in the centuries before the actual Roman conquest of Britain, about technology transfer and medicine, about concepts of purity and identity.
UPDATE: Images of the burial and artifacts
