The site in Nuremberg, Germany, contains the bodies of at least 1,000 people who died of the bubonic plague, which killed up to 60 per cent of Europe's population. Described as a 'nationally significant' discovery, experts think the bodies were buried at the first half of 17th century following a ruthless wave of the disease.

Fake food created by AI looks tastier than real dishes, scientists say - so, can you tell which of these are actual meals?
Some ultra-processed foods are packed with artificial colours and flavourings. But scientists have found that food which is 100 per cent artificial looks even tastier than the real deal. Researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Naples Federico II discovered that people rate AI-generated food images are more appetising. And, as AI images become more realistic, the experts warn that they could even promote unhealthy eating habits.
Revealed: The 'perfect chip' is exactly 7cm long and 1.2cm wide, fried twice in rapeseed oil and made using Russet potatoes, scientists say
With only one ingredient, chips might seem like one of the most basic possible foods. But these simple slabs of fried potatoes are actually far more complex than you might have thought. Studies have found that potatoes' starchy flesh needs to be fried multiple times to get the ideal crunch. And, for the best possible results, experts say that you should use Russet potatoes cut to exactly 7cm long and 1.2cm wide. So, as researchers search for new way to get even better French fries, MailOnline reveals the recipe for the perfect chip.

Britons have always loved a fart joke! 800-year-old book owned by Henry VIII contains a gag about an animal with 'amazing flatulence'
The drawing from the Aberdeen Bestiary, a medieval manuscript, shows a fictional beast expelling acidic gas and faeces from its anus as a form of defence. The image has been rediscovered by satirist and Private Eye editor Ian Hislop in his quest to find Britain's earliest jokes for a new podcast. Other scenes from the book include a deceptive knight who steals a young cub from a mother tiger (bottom right) and a basilisk being attacked (top right).
The formula for happiness? Married, upper class women who think they're attractive have the highest life satisfaction, scientists say
How happy are you with your life? If the answer is 'very', there's a high chance you're a married, upper class woman who thinks she's attractive. That's according to researchers from York University, who have revealed the key factors that contribute to happiness. While previous research has suggested that money is linked with happiness, the new study indicates that this is not always the case. 'Although income definitely plays a role, it's certainly not the only factor or even the most important one,' the researchers wrote.
How to keep your Labrador slim: Vets reveal 7 easy ways to keep your pooch in shape - as research reveals 25% of Labs have a genetic mutation that hard-wires them for obesity
Labradors are one of the most popular dog breeds, but they have an insatiable desire for food. Now scientists have shown that many Labradors can't stop eating due to a genetic mutation that 'hard-wires' them for obesity . Around 25 per cent of Labradors face a 'double whammy' of feeling hungry all the time and burning fewer calories due to this genetic quirk, research suggests. Thankfully, there are several things you can do to lower your pet's risk of obesity and ensure they live a long and healthy life. Vets have revealed seven easy tips - including distracting them with toys and walks, avoiding giving them leftovers and taking them on at least one or two walks per day.
Earth's oldest forest is discovered near a Butlin's in Somerset: Fossilised woodland dates back 390 million years - beating the previous record holder in New York by 4 million years
A Butlin's in Somerset might not seem like a natural backdrop to groundbreaking scientific discovery. But researchers have now discovered Earth's oldest forest hidden in the sandstone cliffs near the holiday resort. Scientists from the University of Cambridge and University of Cardiff discovered the fossil remains of an ancient forest that once stretched across Devon and Somerset. This fossil forest is believed to date back 390 million years, beating the previous record holder in New York by more than four million years. Lead author Professor Neil Davies from the University of Cambridge, said: 'People sometimes think that British rocks have been looked at enough, but this shows that revisiting them can yield important new discoveries.'
So that's why Labradors get so fat! Scientists discover a genetic mutation in a quarter of all dogs that hard-wires them for obesity
With their friendly and outgoing nature, it comes as no surprise that Labradors are some of the most popular dogs around the world. But Labradors are known to pile on the pounds - and now scientists think they know why. New research suggests that around a quarter of Labradors face a 'double whammy' of feeling hungry all the time and burning fewer calories due to a genetic mutation.
De-extinction of the woolly mammoth takes a major step forwards: Scientists successfully reprogramme elephant stem cells - and it could allow them to resurrect the lost species by 2028
It has been more than 4,000 years since the woolly mammoth last walked the Earth, but these extinct giants might not be gone for good. Researchers have made a major breakthrough that could see woolly mammoths returning to life before 2028. Scientists from Colossal Biosciences have successfully created elephant 'pluripotent' stem cells which can grow into any cell in the body. Dr George Church, co-founder and lead geneticist of Colossal, told MailOnline that the creation of these cells 'opens the door' to the de-extinction of the mammoth. 'It's not a huge extrapolation to think that we'll be able to synthesise on a large scale in the future,' he said.
The Arctic could be mostly ice-free in just 10 years - and it means intense heatwaves will plague Earth
The Arctic will see its first ice-free period within the decade and in is little as two years, scientists say. Sea ice normally melts and re-freezes each year, but it is getting smaller every year, according to a new study that predicted the Arctic will have multiple ice-free months each year by 2067.
Tote-ally awesome! French designer Coperni uses NASA's silica aerogel to create a bag made of 99% AIR
If paying for something that is 99 per cent air doesn't sound like a good deal, then this bag might not be for you. French designer Coperni has made a bag out of NASA's silica aerogel nano-material. This space-age material has been used to capture stardust and insulate the Mars rover, but now it is being used for high fashion. Made of one of the lightest materials known to science, the whole bag only weighs 33 grams, slightly more than six sheets of A4 paper.
See the birth of a PLANET: Incredible photos reveal the weird and wonderful ways worlds form in different regions of our galaxy
They look like a bizarre collection of objects, from an eagle spreading its wings to a spinning top and a Japanese 'shuriken' throwing weapon. But these stunning new images released today show 'planet-forming discs' - swirling rings of gas and dust surrounding young stars in the Milky Way. Their locations several hundreds of light-years from us - or trillions and trillions of miles away - make them appear as tiny pinpricks in the night sky. So scientists used the powerful European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to show 80 of them in greater detail than ever before. Many appear like perfect circles or 'bowls' with bright light towards the centre, while others look like asymmetrical blobs with no uniformity.
Mummified fetus with elongated skull found in Colombia could be 'alien' or 'tiny cave-dwelling humanoid' that lived over 800 years ago, researcher claims
The potentially extraterrestrial fetal mummy still has signs of an umbilical cord, eerie new images show. According to the Spanish ex-public radio host and reporter who obtained the photos, the 'alien' mummy came from Columbia - but he has professed 'caution' on the remains' actual origins until further study is done. The find may keep hope alive for frustrated 'ancient alien' hunters, following a blistering analysis this January by forensic archaeologists who concluded that the other 'alien mummies' presented before Mexico's Congress last summer were man-made
