Original Note:
DNA was not used to determine race of the individuals. The claim they were black was based on the shape of their skulls. See link below. Only 3 of the ostensible black women died of plague. All 3 were buried in the same cemetery indicating close proximity in prior residence. https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/discover/bioarchaeological-evidence-black-women-14th-century-london
