WWW.SMITHSONIANMAG.COMDeath Toll Passes 2,000 After Magnitude 7.7 Earthquake Hits Myanmar, Among the Most Powerful Quakes in the Region Since 1900The Myanmar Fire Services Department conducts emergency search and rescue operations after the March 28 earthquake. Myanmar Fire Services Department's Facebook Account / handout / Anadolu via Getty ImagesA devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake, followed by powerful aftershocks, struck war-torn Myanmar on Fridaymarking one of the countrys strongest quakes in more than a century. Its epicenter was near Myanmars second largest city of Mandalay and the neighboring Sagaing in the central part of the country. Residents felt the shaking severely even in Thailands capital city, Bangkok, located hundreds of miles away.According to Myanmars military leaders, more than 2,000 deaths, 3,900 injured and 270 missing people were confirmed by Monday, as reported by the Associated Press David Rising. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), however, estimates the deaths could ultimately surpass 10,000. In Bangkok, the earthquake caused a skyscraper under construction to collapse, with 17 reported dead and 76 missing, per the United Nations (U.N.).The earthquake struck around 12:50 p.m. local time and occurred as the result of strike slip faulting between the India and Eurasia plates, the USGS tectonic summary reads. This type of earthquake results from a sideways motion along a fault line. What made this one especially deadly was its strength, location near populated areas and shallow depth of just about six miles, writes Science News Carolyn Gramling. Merely ten minutes later, the region was struck by a magnitude 6.4 aftershock.The shaking damaged public infrastructure, including buildings and roads, and it destroyed the bridge that connects Mandalay to Sagaing, said Marie Manrique, program coordinator for the International Federation of the Red Cross, to reporters, per Reuters Olivia Le Poidevin. Additionally, Manrique expressed concerns for large-scale dams.A situation report by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs also outlines severe damage at hotels, universities, historical and religious sites, electricity and water infrastructure, communication towers and the Mandalay International Airport.I couldnt process what was happening. I just ran. I barely escaped. The moment I stepped outside, bricks started falling from the ceiling. We all ran to the open field near our house, recounts a 16-year-old student who was in Mandalay during the earthquake, in a Save the Children statement. This was the first earthquake I had ever experienced. It was terrifying.Since 1900, the region has experienced similarly powerful earthquakes six times, not including the most recent one, according to the USGS. In 1990, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake brought down 32 buildings.The New York Times Adam Satariano and Paul Mozur reported Friday that Myanmars military government is censoring some online information regarding the disaster. But the countrys hospitals are reportedly overwhelmed by patients necessitating medical care. Myanmar is currently in a civil war that followed a military coup in February 2021 and has displaced more than three million people.The situation is very complicated, because there are significant communication blackouts in some of the hardest hit areas, and this is due to the ongoing conflict, Federica Franco, the leader of Doctors Without Borders work in Myanmar, says in a voice note sent from Yangon and published by the humanitarian organization.The leader of the military government has announced an open invitation to any organizations and nations willing to come and help the people in need within our country, in what CNNs Ross Adkin, Alex Stambaugh and Kocha Olarn have described as a rare plea from a regime that had largely isolated itself from the world for years. Countries including China, India, Malaysia, Russia and Thailand have sent rescue teams to look for survivors among the rubble.Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.Filed Under: Death, Earthquakes, Natural Disasters0 Comments 0 Shares

WWW.SMITHSONIANMAG.COMArchaeologists Unearth Rare Reminder of Britain's Brief Reign Over the 'Nation's Oldest City'The excavations that uncovered the British fortifications took place at the site of a proposed single-family home in St. Augustine, Florida. City of St. Augustine Archaeology ProgramWhen a house is slated to be built in the historic districts of St. Augustine, Florida, the city requires that archaeologists conduct a surveyand, if need be, an excavationof the site prior to construction.The aim of this rule, unusual in a state undergoing a population and development boom, is to salvage and document whatever remnants of the past might lie beneath the topsoil of the city that bills itself as the nations oldest.Last month, city archaeologists were called in to examine the proposed site of a single-family home in Lincolnville, a neighborhood that was once home to a Native American village, an orange grove plantation and a prominent historically Black community.As part of initial testing, the archaeologists dug 1-foot-by-1-foot holes across the vacant lot. Immediately, the site showed signs of intrigue.The soil just looked odd, recalls city archaeologist Andrea White on the Break Room, a podcast run by the city. It was mottled kind of like rye bread. It had different colors mixed in all together. So that tells us someone has dug this soil up before.Using ground-penetrating radar from the Florida Public Archaeology Network and a backhoe from the citys Department of Public Works, the researchers stripped back the soil from the site and discovered a long, 15-foot-wide ditch that extended across the property line.What they had unearthed was the first archaeological evidence of British fortifications built during the 20-year interlude when Britain controlled Florida in the mid-18th century.Britain took over St. Augustine in 1763, after the Treaty of Paris ended the Seven Years War and two centuries of Spanish rule over Florida. Founded by Spanish conquistadors under Pedro Menndez de Avils in 1565, St. Augustine served as the capital of British East Florida until the Spanish regained control of the peninsula after the American Revolution in 1783. Archaeologists excavate the site in St. Augustine's historic Lincolnville neighborhood. City of St. Augustine Archaeology ProgramDuring that 20-year period, the British inherited Spanish forts and added a network of seven redoubtslong, earthen moundsto beef up defenses.Thats whats interesting about these British redoubts, theyre the only defenses that the British built themselves, White tells the Associated Press David Fischer.This specific redoubt was built in 1781 as part of a secondary ring of defenses to protect the city from attacks from the west and the San Sebastian River, White says on the Break Room.Speaking with First Coast News Jessica Clark, White compares the redoubt to a gun platform or someplace [that] people could have used to shoot at their enemy.Unlike a garrison station or a full-fledged fort, the redoubt didnt house soldiers, so there was no refuse to discover, White tells the St. Augustine Records Lucia Viti. At best, maybe one or two soldiers were stationed at that location. Aerial view of the redoubt, marked by a darker color soil City of St. Augustine Archaeology ProgramFor this reason, artifacts discovered at the site have been sparse. But seeds found at the bottom of the ditch, including tobacco, okra and muscadine, could be evidence of historical agriculture or plants grown to reinforce the earthworks with their roots, according to the Break Room.When the British left St. Augustine two years after the redoubt was built, its likely that they razed the earthworks into ditches or let the once-grandiose defenses naturally deteriorate, White tells the Record.Despite the crucial role that the redoubts played in St. Augustines history, archaeologists have long struggled to pinpoint the exact location of the defenses.Part of the confusion arose from discrepancies between historical maps of British St. Augustine. Although several maps depict the redoubts, they all have slightly different sizes and dimensions, White tells the Break Room.Comparing historical maps bearing little resemblance to modern-day St. Augustine with very small house lots where archaeologists are allowed to dig is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, the citys archaeology program explains in a Facebook post. A general location plus or minus one [or] two city blocks leaves an awful lot of ground to cover.This time, the archaeologists got lucky. They hope that this first redoubt site can serve as an anchor to reference against the historical maps and locate the other six locations of the British defense network.Its a testament that even though weve been doing archaeology for over 30 years in St. Augustine, theres still more to find, Katherine Sims, an archaeologist for the city, tells First Coast News. You never really know until you put a shovel in the ground.Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.0 Comments 0 Shares
