  • Title: Two probable cases of treponemal disease of Medieval date from England.
    Author: Mays S, Crane-Kramer G, Bayliss A.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 2003 Feb; 120(2):133-43. PubMed ID: 12541331.
    Abstract:
    Two British Medieval skeletons are described. Paleopathological examination suggests that treponemal disease was present in each case. Radiocarbon dating indicates that one is firmly pre-Columbian, and the other of likely pre-Columbian date. The implications for our understanding of the history and geographic spread of the treponemal diseases, particularly venereal syphilis, are discussed.
