[edit] Viking ring castles
Hi Thomas
Sorry if I've been ignoring your request. I didn't mean to be rude, but my schedule just has a very bad habit of getting full. This is also why I currently focus on material I know inside out / more trivial janitorial work, rather than writing "real" new articles.
I included material from the Danish Wikipedia in the article about Aggersborg, and when I get the time, I'll try to do the same for more of the other articles. I can't promise that I'll find the time to go deep into new material in the next months. I'm busy with my thesis as well as other work. Unfortunately, I have very little knowledge about the Viking Age myself, so I can't simply cite a lot of material by heart.
After our last talk, a friend of mine took a few images of the Nonnebakken site (which is completely destroyed from an archaeological point of view) but he never got around to actually uploading them. I'll ask him again next time I see him.
A quick attempt at a translation about the spade goes like this:
The ring castle's southern moat was investigated during a dig in Allégade, due to a planned works to lay down central heating piping. The moat turned out to have been at least three meters deep. Its breadth: around 11 meters. The moat had been filled up over several occations [so it has been filled partially up once, and this work was continued much later]. Finds included a preserved spade made of oak tree, dated by dendro-chronology to the functioning era of the fort. No traces of the moat['s structure] or its bank.
I'm afraid this means that they were unable to find traces of the wooden structure.
When I get the time, I'll try to look for more material, but unfortunately, I can't promise you when my schedule will free up.
Anyway, it is great that you're expanding this material, and I wish you the best of luck with it. If you find some Danish material that needs translation, I might be able to help out there as well.
Happy editing. --Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 21:16, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fachhallenhaus
Thank you for your comments on my translation of Fachhallenhaus. I decided to give this a try, but I was upset to find that several of the words in the article were too technical to be listed in my dictionary (including Gefach). I don't really know anything about the subject and it seemed like a Long House to me. I don't see a distinction, but I'm hardly an expert. Perhaps you would be more capable of translating this article. I will try to do a little more work though. Also, do you know how to transfer images from one wikipedia to another. Many of the pictures on the German page are not available on the English project. KLabe 13:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Exactly this lack of a good dictionary has always kept me from starting a translation ;) Transfering pictures is something I was just having a look at and I might contact some of the authors for help (this always worked in the past). For the time being the easiest is looking wich are on the commons and what else is on the commons that might not be in the article. Maybe a good start would be expanding the english longhouse articles linked to from the longhouse page adding more technical expressions[1]. One great difference to an english longhouse may be that the fachhallenhouse is always aisled with two or three aisles. The devision into bays is also vital as in old documents the length is given by counting the bays. This is also a very important difference to the de:Ernhaus that borders to the south and may be related to in the sense of having a common ancestor with british cross passage types as this is sometimes not devided into structual bays. The bays of the Fachhallenhaus are seperated by trusses that are combined to rigid triangles made of the rafters and the tie beams, these again connected with braces to the posts (de:Sparrendach). This is very different to the crown/king post or purlin roofs (de:Pfettendach) of other regions including england.[2] This again raises the need to have good articles on other house types of vernacular architecture [3] [4] such as the british crosspassage family with the open halls, hall and parlour, wealden [5], pendean and american types such as the I-house, the saltbox and the cape cod house that may have an european origin of some sort. Note also the german de:Langhaus (Wohngebäude) article for more longhouse information.--T.woelk 14:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
