	abstract = {<p>The emergence of collective burial practices is of central interest to archaeologists interested in understanding the evolution of cooperative corporate group behaviour. We here provide an interim report of our documentation and analysis of one of the earliest known collective burials in south-central Ontario, located in a narrowly circumscribed (0.5 ha) parcel of land on Jacob Island overlooking Pigeon Lake in the Kawartha Lakes district. This paper provides a preliminary overview and summary of the findings to date, focusing on the burial patterns, palaeodietary analysis, material culture characteristics, and chronology. Our work has extended evidence of cemetery burials in southern Ontario back to the fifth millennium B.P., and we show how these practices relate to the better documented mortuary programs of the second and third millennium B.P.</p>},
