The hypothesis of an American origin of acquired (venereal) syphilis and other \ninfectious diseases carried by Christopher Columbus’s crew has been \nconsidered for a long time as the most plausible one, and has been supported \nrecently by considerable anthropological and molecular evidence. In this line of \nthought, it can be argued that Spain would have been the gateway of acquired \nsyphilis, which quickly expanded after the return of Columbus in the late 15th \ncentury. However, the hypothesis that syphilis previously existed in Europe but \nwent unrecognized has been also considered by many authors. The present \nwork reports one Pre-Columbian putative case of venereal syphilis found in a \nSpanish necropolis and radiocarbon dated to the 9th-11th century. The \ncomplexities of carrying out accurate diagnoses in remains from archaeological \ntimeframes are addressed by the combined use of paleopathological, medical \nand histological techniques. The results, which suggestively point toward a \nthird-stage acquired syphilis, spark discussion about the need to revisit or \ncomplement the theories and hypothesis on the origin of syphilis in the light of a \ngrowing body of cases from European historical populations
