Ancient DNA from a pre‐Columbian Amerindian population
Abstract
Ancient DNA was obtained from skeletal remains from the Norris Farms #36 cemetery, a pre-Columbian archeological site in central Illinois that dates to A.D. 1300. Four mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers were analyzed that delineate the four primary mtDNA lineages found in contemporary Amerindian populations. mtDNA types were determined for 50 individuals; 49 belonged to one of these four lineages. One lineage occurred only in males, suggesting an immigration of maternally related males into this community. There was no significant spatial patterning of mtDNA lineages within the cemetery. This survey of ancient DNA variation in a pre-Columbian population supports the view that the initial colonization of the New World comprised just four primary mtDNA lineages.

“The Norris Farms #36 cemetery was selected for analysis because bone samples from this site had been previously investigated using ancient DNA techniques (Stone and Stoneking, 1993, 1998, 1999), and mtDNA haplogroup assignments and HVRI sequences are available for 108 and 52 individuals, respectively, making it the most intensively studied pre‐Contact North American site to date.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
