The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
No full textThis article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.

Nesophontes hemicingulus Morgan & Macphee & Woods & Turvey 2019, new species
No full text<i>Nesophontes hemicingulus</i>, new species Figures 3–9 <p>HOLOTYPE: UF 23295, partial skull lacking neurocranium (fig. 3); C1–M3 present on right side, C1–M2 on left side, with partial alveoli for I2–I3. Unfortunately, the skull broke along its long axis after collection, although little bone has been lost from complementary edges. All the cranial specimens from the Cayman Islands are damaged to a greater or lesser degree, and dentitions tend to be incomplete and much worn. UF 23295 was chosen as the holotype because its teeth are on average less worn than those in comparable specimens and all cheekteeth are preserved (albeit on one side only).</p> <p> TYPE LOCALITY: Patton’s Fissure, near Spot Bay on the northern coast of Cayman Brac. The holotype was recovered from layer 5 (80–100 cm below the surface), which has been radiocarbon dated on the basis of land snail shell carbonate to 11,180 ± 105 14 C yr BP (see Radiocarbon Dating).</p> <p> ETYMOLOGY: Frp, Latin <i>hemi-</i>, “half,” and <i>cingulus</i>, “belt,” in reference to absence of the precingulum on all upper molars.</p> <p>AGE: Late Pleistocene-Holocene (see Radiocarbon Dating).</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Known only from Cayman Brac and Grand Cayman. This species is the only member of the genus known outside the Greater Antilles and their satellite islands.</p> <p> REFERRED SPECIMENS: <b>Cayman Brac:</b> Patton’s Fissure: partial skulls, UF 23258, 23264, 23277, 23279, 23293–23301, 23332–23337, 23360- 23363, 23393, 23394, 23407; mandibles, UF 23241, 23242, 23245, 23251–23256, 23259, 23265–23269, 23280–23285, 23311–23313, 23324–23326, 23343, 23347–23359, 23364, 23365, 23367–23378, 23383, 23389, 23397, 23398, 23400, 23404, 23408–23417, 23421, 23426–23432, 23436, 23437, 23448–23450 (also includes a large sample of postcranial material not listed here).

Barn Owl Cave: UF 23242, right mandible with p2–m3. Bodden Cave: UF 23241, right mandible with p4–m3. Furtherland Farms: UF 172803, left mandible with p2, p4– m3. Old Man Cave: UF 23245, right mandible with c1, p2, m1; UF 23246, right mandible with p2, p4–m3; UF 23247, edentulous right mandible; UF 23248, partial edentulous right mandible; UF 23249, right mandible with p2, p 4m 3; UF 23250, left mandible with p2, p4–m3; UF 23251, left mandible with p4–m3.</p> <p> DIAGNOSIS: Within <i>Nesophontes</i>, <i>N</i>. <i>hemicingulus</i> expresses unique reductions in cingulum/ ectocingulid features on upper/lower molars. It can be distinguished in lacking precingula on all molars, attenuation of postcingula on M1 and M2, and uniform de-emphasis of ectocingulids on lower cheekteeth. Closest morphological similarities are to Cuban <i>N. micrus</i> in regard to tooth shape, dimensions, and discrete characters.</p> <p> DESCRIPTION: In the absence of good cranial remains of Cayman nesophontids, teeth are the main source of characters (figs. 3–9). In the following set of differential diagnoses, we compare <i>N. hemicingulus</i> to species from the major islands on which <i>Nesophontes</i> formerly occurred: Puerto Rico (<i>N. edithae</i>), Cuba (<i>N</i>. <i>major</i>, <i>N. micrus</i>), and Hispaniola (<i>N. hypomicrus</i>, <i>N. paramicrus, N. zamicrus</i>). Hispaniolan <i>N. paramicrus</i> and Cuban <i>N</i>. <i>micrus</i> are very similar, and were in fact synonymized by Varona (1974) on the basis of his comparisons and those of Patterson (1962). However, these two species differ in some characters, such as the absence of a constricted infraorbital foramen in <i>N. micrus</i>, and for this reason are distinguished here. Cingulum/cingulid characters, the only reliably diagnostic characters for <i>N. hemicingulus</i> in the current hypodigm, are treated separately.</p>Published as part of <i>Morgan, Gary S., Macphee, Ross D.
