Fought on 30 July 1864, during the Siege of Petersburg, the Battle of the Crater, according to the National Park Service, is one of the most important events of the Civil War. The participation of African-American troops in the battle and the subsequent execution of black prisoners highlights the racial animosities that were the underpinning causes of this conflict. The goal of this project is to document the level of integrity of any archaeological resources connected with this field of conflict and to examine how far the Union troops advance beyond the mouth of the Crater.

  • Crop Profile for Basil in New Jersey Ocimum Basilicum (L.) O
    Crop Profile for Basil in New Jersey Ocimum basilicum (L.) O. tenuiflorum O. americanum Lamiales: Lamiaceae Prepared: 2008 General Production Information Yearly production: Approximately 450 acres % of crop for fresh market: 100% % of crop grown for retail market: 10 % % of crop grown for wholesale market: 90 % Production Regions The majority of basil production occurs in the southern New Jersey counties of Atlantic (100 acres), Cumberland (225 acres), and Gloucester (50 acres). There is some basil production in the central counties of Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington, amounting to less than 50 acres. Soils in southern and much of central New Jersey are light, ranging from sand to sandy loam with some areas of silt loam. Basil production in the southern region extends from early April to October. In this region, basil is predominantly grown for the wholesale market, with plant stems generally cut or pulled, washed and bundled in 12-15 plant or stem bunches. Wholesale units are 15-count (bunch) crates. Some basil in this region is produced for the retail market and sold at farm stands or directly to restaurants. In this case, basil is generally sold by the bunch. In the northern counties of Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris, Warren, and Sussex, many growers produce basil, but on minimal acreage. Soils in the northern region are typically Piedmont (heavy silt loams) and Appalachian (shaley) soils. The field season begins in mid-May here, and continues until cold weather terminates production. In the north, basil is grown exclusively for retail at farm stands and at community-sponsored farmers markets. Typical growers in this region produce less than one half acre of basil.

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.
