References Genetic analysis of the Ray site will allow us to test the following hypotheses: 1. The Ray site was an accretional cemetery used by groups from various locales. 2. The Ray site was an isolated bluff top community, having little external interaction. Although variation in burial pattern and artifact distribution suggest the Ray site may have been used by multiple groups, this hypothesis has not been tested with other lines of evidence. Identification of genetic relationships within the Ray site will provide a greater understanding of burial organization and community composition.

Genetic analysis of the Ray site will allow us to test the following hypotheses: 1.  The Ray site was an accretional

cemetery used by groups from various locales.

2.  The Ray site was an isolated bluff top

community, having little external interaction.

Although variation in burial pattern and artifact distribution suggest the Ray site may have been used by multiple groups, this hypothesis has not been tested with other lines of evidence. Identification of genetic relationships within the Ray site will provide a greater understanding of burial organization and community composition. Furthermore, the information gained through genetic analysis of the Ray site community allows for the investigation of interpopulation genetic relationships with contemporaneous sites. Through such analyses we may be able to observe evidence of mutli-group interaction or find support for the hypothesis of the Ray site as an isolate.

The Ray site (Br 104) is located in western Illinois on a steep, narrow ridge near the confluence of the Illinois and La Moine rivers (Figure 1 and 2)2. It is a Middle Woodland burial site estimated to be in use from 50BC – AD450. The inventory of the Ray site burials records a minimum number of 117 individuals. The Ray site varies from its contemporaries in numerous ways2: •  Cemetery is not mounded •  No evidence of a superstructure

characteristic of Middle Woodland sites •  Burials were interred in a linear pattern,

with 4 clusters •  Burials of isolated elements •  There is an isolated concentration of 9

burials in the southeast area of the site •  The directional orientation of interred

individuals varies within the site •  Remains are found in both extended and

flexed positions (Figure 3).

For this pilot project we identified six individuals from different areas of the site and selected a tooth from each for genetic analysis. (Figure 4). Comprehensive genetic analysis will include mining the genome while also targeting individual identity markers (IISNP). This panel includes autosomal SNPs and paternal and specific sequences of DNA using a custom liquid-phase DNA capture system from Mycroarray (Figure 5). We have created a custom library of 600 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) including ancestry informative markers (AIM) and maternal markers (Table 1). Through this analysis we will be able to identify: •  Geneflow •  Admixture •  Biological relationships

Extraction of genetic material and enrichment is taking place at the Center for Human Identification University of North Texas Health Science Center. The information this analysis yields will lead not only to a greater understanding of the Ray Site population in terms of biological relationships and genetic background of the site but will also offer insight into the peopling of North America. We plan further sampling and testing of the Ray site remains, as well as complimentary chemical analysis to enhance studies on migration.
