  • Funerary Ritual and Urban Development in Archaic Central Italy by Jennifer Marilyn Evans a Disser
    Funerary Ritual and Urban Development in Archaic Central Italy By Jennifer Marilyn Evans A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor J. Theodore Peña, Chair Professor Christopher Hallett Professor Dylan Sailor Professor Nicola Terrenato Professor Carlos Noreña Spring 2014 Copyright 2014, Jennifer Marilyn Evans Abstract Funerary Ritual and Urban Development in Archaic Central Italy by Jennifer Marilyn Evans Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor J. Theodore Peña, Chair This dissertation examines the evidence for burial in archaic Rome and Latium with a view to understanding the nature of urban development in the region. In particular, I focus on identifying those social and political institutions that governed relations between city‐ states at a time when Rome was becoming the most influential urban center in the area. I examine the evidence for burial gathered primarily from the past four decades or so of archaeological excavation in order to present first, a systematic account of the data and second, an analysis of these materials. I reveal that a high degree of variation was observed in funerary ritual across sites, and suggest that this points to a complex system of regional networks that allowed for the widespread travel of people and ideas. I view this as evidence for the openness of archaic societies in Latium, whereby people and groups seem to have moved across regions with what seems to have been a fair degree of mobility.

BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT TrueNicks: An Explanation Nicks in History Compatibilities between stallions from one sire line with mares of another sire line has helped shape the breed since the Eclipse/Herod cross of the late 18th century. These successful crosses, called nicks, have impacted Thoroughbred development through such examples as Hermit/Stockwell, Lexington/Glencoe, Bend Or/Macaroni, and Phalaris/Chaucer. In the modern era, the prolific Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross has produced outstanding racehorses and sires such as Kingmambo, Distorted Humor, and Elusive Quality. Fast-Forward to the 21st Century Computer databases have made it possible to measure and rate nicks, giving rise to a commercial market for such statistics. The first nick ratings offered to the public, though popular, were compromised by incomplete data and yielded results based on hypothetical rather than actual opportunity. This statistical gap was the impetus behind the development of TrueNicks. A Statistically Valid Approach Unlike other ratings that are calculated based on hypothetical opportunity within a limited group of horses, TrueNicks references the international database of The Jockey Club—the world’s most complete record of Thoroughbreds and their performance—to produce a sophisticated rating based on all starters and stakes winners on a given cross. The Statistics The TrueNicks rating is derived from two statistical elements: the Sire Improvement Index (SII) and the Broodmare Sire Improvement Index (BSII). Each figure compares the percentage of progeny stakes winners to starters.

  • Breeders and Owners
    7 Breeders and owners Breeders ngland, particularly northern England, was the original home of the Ethoroughbred horse, and thoroughbred breeding was a national industry of great value. In former centuries England had maintained a global supremacy, even though Irish, French and American horses were occasionally successful in major races. Between the wars England struggled to retain its lead. Nevertheless a firm belief that Britain was best, and that British breeding was superior, still dominated the cultural thinking of British breeders. Edward Moorhouse, secre- tary of the Society for the Encouragement of Thoroughbred Breeding, claimed that ‘England is the home of the thoroughbred and it is only here that he can retain his perfection … it is vital to maintain our superiority’.1 A highly affirma- tive image of British stud produce was also maintained by the racing press, and some correspondents, such as ‘Audax’ (Arthur Portman) or ‘Mandanko’ (Professor Robertson) were breeding experts. All the major racing papers pub- lished descriptions of their correspondents’ visits to racing studs. Descriptions of the horses included colour, breeding lines, shape, conformation and similar details and were always couched positively. The foals described in ‘a round of the Burton Agnes Stud’ in 1935, for example, were variously of ‘great symmetry and superb quality’, ‘very smart’, ‘strong and active’, ‘good’, ‘shapely’ and ‘neat’. The Lordship stud horses were variously ‘lengthy’, ‘handsome’, ‘active’, ‘com- pact’, ‘well balanced’, a ‘good mover’, ‘fine’, ‘rich’ and ‘free-moving’.2 Poorer ones were presumably not mentioned. The ideal for all breeders was to breed stamina and speed in their horses, but Britain, with its high proportion of 2-year-old racers, largely bred for speed at the expense of stamina.
