Uncovered 19th century Jewish cemetary (IMAGE)
Caption
This image shows the construction of an access ramp to convert a 15th century granary in Erfurt, Germany, into a parking garage. A rescue excavation uncovered graves of the Jewish cemetery underneath, from which the researchers collected detached teeth for an ancient DNA analysis. The skeletons were then reburied in the 19th century Jewish cemetery.
