Abstract

The article reports on the discovery of skeletons during the construction of Crossrail, reportedly Europe's largest railway and infrastructure construction project in London, England, that is expected to be operational in 2018. It discusses the discovery of 25 skeletons and pottery dating back to the Great Plague in the mid-14th century and explores the significance of these excavations in uncovering the cause of the disease traceable to enterobacterium, Yersina pestis.
