The Coat Off His Back | Park Authority

The Coat Off His Back Textiles are rarely recovered at local archaeological sites because the soils in Fairfax County are acidic, and most textiles disintegrate long before archaeologists can reach them. More often, archaeologists find metal buttons and hooks that once functioned on a cloth garment such as a coat or gown. However, sometimes cloth survives in unexpected places. Archaeologists found this felt object while excavating a 19th century tanning vat in Centreville. Conservation and scientific analysis yielded some fascinating details about the cloth. Around 1804, Daniel Harrington opened a tanyard in Centreville. It contained several structures as well as large wooden tanning vats built in clay-lined pits. The tanyard closed some time before the summer of 1861, when thousands of Confederate soldiers occupied and constructed a complex system of fortifications around the village. After the Confederate Army left Centreville in March 1862, Union forces moved in. In the early 19

7 days of at-home spring break

7 days of at-home spring break Maryellen Kennedy Duckett © Photograph by RichVintage / Getty Images Young brothers are ready to go to the beach they have made in their home. The coronavirus quarantine has forced them from vacation mode to staycation mode. They are using the imagination by building couch fort into a beach hut. Whether Spring Break 2020 was the last trip your family took or the first trip you had to cancel (due to COVID-19 concerns), Spring Break 2021 might be a not-so-happy reminder that many families have been socially distanced, masked up, and living in bubbles for over a year. With travel restrictions likely to remain in place for whatever spring break looks like this year, why not “go” on a full week of activities without leaving home? To help you get started, we’ve created a sampler of seven different pandemic-proof spring breaks, one for each day of the week and all with a learning component. But don’t worry … these ideas are s

Does a Photo Show a Parasite That Replaced a Fish s Tongue?

So claims a now-viral Instagram post that was shared in March 2021 by the Smithsonian Institute in appreciation of #ParasiteWeek2021. And if the photo was enough to give you the heebie-jeebies, then you may not want to continue reading. Because both the photograph in question and the supposed parasite featured in it are, in fact, real. The picture featured an organism known as a cymothoid isopod and was originally shared on Aug. 3, 2020, by marine biologist Jimmy Bernot, a post-doctoral scholar with the National Science Foundation and Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History specializing in crustacean phylogeny and parasite evolution. In an email to Snopes, Bernot said that he captured the photo during a 2016 survey of fish parasites of Moreton Bay, Australia.
