Abstract: Let $N=2n^2-1$ or $N=n^2+n-1$, for any $nge2$. Let $M=fracN-12$. We construct families of prime knots with Jones polynomials $(-1{)}^{M}su{m}_{k=-M}^M(-1{)}^k{t}^k$. Such polynomials have Mahler measure equal to $1$. If $N$ is prime, these are cyclotomic polynomials $Ph{i}_{2N}(t)$, up to some shift in the powers of $t$. Otherwise, they are products of such polynomials, including $Ph{i}_{2N}(t)$. In particular, all roots of unity $zet{a}_{2N}$ occur as roots of Jones polynomials. We also show that some roots of unity cannot be zeros of Jones polynomials.
