and how does the 4,9 ka Yersenia Pestis in the Gökhem Passage grave fit in that story?I've read the paper. So have we all, and discussed it as well. You've forgotten?

In that discussion, I provided a link to their talk on their own paper where it is proposed that it was brought "from" the steppe to the Neolithic socieites of Europe through sporadic contact, where it spread, decimating the population, and thus, as he says, "paving" the way for the later migrations/invasions, call them what you will.
So, my interpretation is in line with that of the authors of the data you cite, and yours is not.
You keep on ignoring the fact that the first documented case of "any" disease is not necessarily where it started spreading.
Kristiansen himself points to the Cucutenis-Trypolye megacities
and then it would have been spread prior to the arrival of the steppe herders
some point to the Globular Amphora for that
no proof has been found yet, allthough in the last Cucuteni-Tripolye study they checked for Yersenia Pestis
you yourself said his 'predictive modelling' is speculation
