Image for: Molecular Confirmation of Yersinia pestis in the 6th Century Bavarian Cemetery at Aschheim


During the 6th century, several individuals from Aschheim had been buried together in a single grave as shown above. This burial contains three individuals, two women and a child. From the teeth of one of the women scientists could isolate Yersinia pestis DNA and therefore assumed that the bacterium had caused the people’s death.
