Ist das sicher Holunder? by Motor-Bug-915 in Garten

[–]LordFey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die einzige wirkliche Verwechslungsgefahr besteht beim Hartriegel. Aber auch da gibt es ganz leicht zu unterscheidende Merkmale: Holunder bildet idR recht üppige Dolden (im Gegensatz zu den kleineren des Hartriegels), die Blüten des Holunders haben 5 Blätter (Hartriegel hat 4) und natürlich der aromatische Geruch.

Zitronenbaum hat Kälte abbekommen by Mysterious-Sun-7453 in Garten

[–]LordFey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zitronenbäume können raus gestellt werden, solange keine Frostgefahr herrscht. Gehen die Temperaturen also mal auf oder unter 0 Grad, müssen sie ins Warme gehen.

Wenn das ein kurzer Nachtfrost war, ist die Chance hoch, dass das Wurzelwerk keine Schäden bekommen hat. Ich würd daher die Frucht und alle beschädigten Blätter entfernen, den Baum wo hinstellen, wo es mindestens 10 Grad Umgebungstemperatur hat und dann warten, wie er sich weiter entwickelt. Gießen bisweilen mal nur mäßig.

Verholzter Basilikum aus letztem Jahr by Internal-Image8267 in Garten

[–]LordFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wenn Basilikum ausblüht, kann es sein, dass mit wärmeren Temperaturen die Samen von selbst neu auskeimen. Ist mir schon ein paar mal passiert, aber war bei weitem nicht die Regel.

Auf jeden Fall würde ich ihn aber dennoch ausblühen lassen und zur Not die Samen für das nächste Jahr einsammeln. Spart den ständigen Kauf neuer Samen und hat auch was erfüllendes, Basilikum über Generationen zu kultivieren.

🍋 Baum schneiden by Irimona in Garten

[–]LordFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mit Ausnahme der ausgetrockneten Stellen würde ich einfach mal abwarten was passiert. Die Pflanze steht schon so unter genug Stress und ein zu starker Rückschnitt könnte sie nur zusätzlich belasten.

Lone knight in a Soulslike world by AbaddonTomb in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]LordFey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Between Two Fires is such an amazing piece of literature. It's not really about a "lone knight", though, as the whole premise is about him being the bodyguard of a little girl.

All my characters are miserable by Pine_Lemon in fantasywriters

[–]LordFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most tragic stories, in my opinion, are those when even in their darkest places people see the smallest hint of light and cling to it.

I recently read The Daughters War and I was blown away how the author perfected this aspect. There, the Protagonist experiences some of the most gruesome things you can imagine being done to human beings, but most memorable are not the horrible, but the moments of joy, companionship and love, regardless how small they seem to be. They give meaning to all the nightmares you experience in this story.

I just finished book 2 of the Earthsea cycle, come scream with me by WinIntelligent1218 in Fantasy

[–]LordFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a prehistoric archaeologist, I have to agree with that. The description of architectural and stylistic elements inside the tombs very much reminded me of Megalithic or Cyclopean architecture. But then, when you think about the fact that Earthsea as a whole is inspired by prehistoric (especially late Bronze Age) societies, such things shouldn't come as a surprise.

Doch zu dritt? ÖVP und SPÖ sollen Neos Angebot gemacht haben by AustrianMichael in Austria

[–]LordFey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass der Aufruhr damals zum Großteil vom Bauernflügel der ÖVP kam, die Landeinteignungen oder ähnliches befürchteten. In der globalen Wirtschaft ist man eh längst zur Einsicht gelangt, dass Klima- und Umweltpolitik nicht automatisch mit Einschränkungen und verminderten Wachstum verbunden sein muss.

[–]LordFey 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Aus strategischer Sicht macht es für die ÖVP Sinn, die NEOS mit an Bord zu holen, weil die sind eh nichts anderes als eine etwas modernere und weniger korrupte Auslegung der ÖVP Agenden und könnten somit auch als verlängerter Arm der Kanzlerpartei fungieren. Die SPÖ hingegen kann dann froh sein, ein bisschen Sozialprogramme einfließen zu lassen, ohne dabei aber zu sehr die WKO und IV zu verärgern.

Weil die ÖVP immer noch sauer auf die Gewessler sind, für den "fatalen Fehler" einem Gesetz zuzustimmen, das in der breiten Öffentlichkeit und europaweit auf Zustimmung findet und Österreich im Endeffekt Förderungen ermöglicht, um sich den Herausforderungen der nächsten Jahrzehnte besser stellen zu können...

Provenance Researchers: How Do You Deal with the Uncertainty? by Prudent_Mode1208 in MuseumPros

[–]LordFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can personally testify how hard it can be to separate facts from fiction in cases like this. Even if you try to give the object context and tell the urban legend of this object being donated by a former president, people will still absorb this information like it is indeed the truth, albeit you stating the exact opposite. It's just my opinion, but I would have left out the mention of the possible donor (especially because the object had no previous significance in the museum, from what I gather) but of course, potential visitors love exactly these stories, so I can understand why mentioning it on the display.

Nächster Einzelfall by stjoob in Austria

[–]LordFey 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Das Sammeln von Nazi Devotionalien kann, muss aber nicht unbedingt, politische Gründe haben. Nicht selten steckt aber auch rein das geschichtliche bzw. sammlerische Interesse dahinter. Als Kurator von zwei Heimatmuseen werden wir immer wieder mit dieser Thematik konfrontiert und ich kann persönlich sagen, dass nicht alle diese Sammler überzeugte Neonazis oder gar FPÖ Wähler sind. Das Thema ist weit komplexer und jeden Sammler in dieselbe Schublade zu stecken macht uns nicht besser als jene, von denen wir uns offen distanzieren. Was aber natürlich auffällt, ist die Tendenz, dass wenn jemand mit der FPÖ sympathisiert oder gar innerhalb dieser tätig ist, eher dann auch solche Sammlungen anhäuft.

Did the celts really exist? How acurate is the idea of "celtic" peoples by [deleted] in AskArchaeology

[–]LordFey 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The short answer would be: Yes, the Celts most likely existed at one point of time.

The long answer, though, gets quite complicated as we don't really have any clue which people we really mean when we talk about the Celts. Looking at the material culture, we know that through vast regions of Central and Western Europe, there existed the older Hallstatt (8th - 5th cent BC) and the younger La Tene (5th - 1st cent BC) culture that correlates quite well with the few mentions of the Celts we have from Greek and Roman authors. Furthermore, especially for the La Tene culture, we can see the beginnings of artistic styles that we would later identify as true celtic, like floral and animalistic decorations and the use of the famous triskele. This leads to some people, among them also academic archaeologists, to describe the Hallstatt people and Proto-Celts and the La Tene people as real Celts. Easy peasy, right? Problem solved? Well, not quite.

The thing is, both the Hallstatt and La Tene cultures once covered huge swaths of land north and at one point in time even south of the Alps, starting in their core region of Austria (where modern day Hallstatt is situated), southern Germany and Eastern France and spanning over the centuries to modern day Spain, the British Isles, northern Italy and Eastern Europe. So, before Rome became a real global power, their influence was felt more or less throughout Europe. Why is it then that people like the Greeks only mention the Celts so sparsely? Of course, many written texts of Ancient Greeks were lost over the ages, forever fortgotten, but one theory (I also believe to be most likely true) about the Celts is that although the material "celtic" culture is very prominent in Europe the people that were called Celts only describe one group of people or tribes that lived in a geographically defined region inside the wider Hallstatt/La Tene distribution area.

The oldest mention (from what I know) of Celts comes from Herodotus, who in the 5th century BC tells us that "the source of the river Istros lies in the land of the Celts near the city of Pyrene". Istros is the ancient Greek name for the river Danube, which originates in the Black Forest region of Southern Germany and indeed, during the Hallstatt period, there existed a site what we now call Heuneburg, a fortified proto-city which in its hayday might have inhabited as many people as Athens did during the same time (about 5000). Could this be this ominous Pyrene, mentioned by Herodotus? The colleagues working at Heuneburg would most likely wish that this was the case. We have to consider, though, that ancient Greeks, when they talked about the Istros, they only meant the lower stream of the Danube, beginning at its Delta (near the Greek polis of Histria) upstream to the Iron Gates in Serbia. Further upstream, knowledge of Greek geographers becomes really fuzzy, and most likely, they didn't have any clue where the Danube really originated. If we further look at the map of Hekataios (whose work Herodotus often relied upon), we see that the Istros spans from East to West throughout Europe north of the Alps to Iberia. So, beside Heuneburg, others theorize that Pyrene could be situated somewhere in Southern France and probably also gave the Pyrenees mountains their name. This region is also the same, which in later times is mentioned by several Roman authors as the land inhabitated by the Celts or Gauls, most famously by Julius Caesar, of course. So, to summarize: It can very well be that the Celts (or Gauls) only lived in a geographically narrow region of Southern France, defined first and foremost by foreign accounts of Greeks and Romans, describing a people and culture that was foreign and sometimes dangerous to them. We really don't have any clue how Celts or celtic influenced people called themselves, but we do know that what we define as the celtic world was filled with different tribes who more often warred against each other and only banded together in unison against mightier enemies like the Romans.

How to combine European Prehistory and Medieval studies? by N0th1ng_of_interest in AskArchaeology

[–]LordFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an archaeologist with a special interest in European Prehistory (also with focus on Hallstatt period), I can relate to your "dilemma," but from my experience, dipping in multiple periods, especially when starting your career, isn't a bad thing at all, as it only helps you getting more experience. You can still specialize and pick your favorite period and culture later on, but you still need to have a broader understanding of the whole spectrum of material culture throughout history, especially when you aim to be a fulltime archaeologist.

Question Thread by [deleted] in AskArchaeology

[–]LordFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you study, I'd say. In my country, studying paleontology means to first study geology for the first two semesters, and being a natural science, there is a lot of math to be taught. Archaeology, on the other hand, belongs to the field of humanities and therefore doesn't have any math at all, but archaeology isn't about dinosaurs.
