The DNA of a strain of bacteria responsible for the infamous Black Death plague has been found in the teeth of three individuals found buried in the UK thousands of years before the deadly pandemics raged across Europe.
Although we know a lot about the history of the disease, how it originated and spread is something genetic detectives are still working to figure out., to the Late Neolithic and the Bronze Age .
The most common LNBA strains of the bacterium lack the adaptations for flea transmission, suggesting that earlier forms of plague were not as horrendously deadly. Interestingly, the mass grave at Charterhouse Warren containing the two children isn't typical of the period. What's more, many of the bones of the 28 individuals therein showed signs of fatal trauma, suggesting that the site was used for the disposal of bodies after a violent event.
