Article Evaluation: Variety (linguistics)

• The article stays on subject, building up explanations on the subject of "variety" in the linguistic sense. I checked the "talk" section to see any changes they may have made. One change was the inclusion of the word "Lect." the original writer requested others to confirm the relation of the word with the definition of "variety". This was confirmed by another writer as he further explained how the word "Variety" is ambiguous. The subject stays true to its sources with proper citation, while overall staying neutral.

Some grave goods from burial sites display a higher quality, suggesting the development of societal elites within Villanovan culture. Tools and items were placed in graves suggesting a belief in an afterlife, men's graves contained weapons, armor, weaving tools for the women with a few graves containing vice versa goods. Indicating exceptions with the possibility that women played a more active role in villanovan culture and men too had made clothing.

Villanovans traded with other states from the Mediterranean such as Greeks, Balkans, and Sardinia. Trade brought about advancement in metallurgy, and Greek presence influenced villanovan pottery. .
