Genetic Analysis of Ancient Bones of Cervidae Animals from Archaeological Site in Jeju, Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

DNA extracted from ancient bones of Cervidaeanimals was examined to identify the species and todetermine the phylogenetic relationships to those fromextant cervids. Abundant ancient bones were excavatedfrom Kumsung archaeological site in Jeju Island, Korea, andfeatures of their antlers and lower mandibles. Theirmitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region (CR) was partiallysequenced and subsequently compared with those previouslyreported in database. The results confirmed that the ancientsequences are lineage of Cervidae. On the phylogenetictrees constructed using the sequence diversity of the CRsequences of family Cervidae, the ancient DNA sequenceswere found on distinct clusters. The ancient sequenceswere located in the subfamily Capreolinae cluster, and sixancient sequences were closely related to those of extantConsequently, the results of this study suggest that the roedeer inhabited Jeju Island in ancient times. However, thereis no evidence for the existence of subfamily Cervinae,including Sika deer, while it has been described in severalhistorical records. The results suggest that this finding couldcontribute to understanding of the origin and phylogeneticrelationships of extant and ancient roe deer on Jeju Island.
