Description
Der scherzhaft nach einer vom Jubilar gern zitierten Passage aus dem Roman "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis" titulierte Band enthält ein Vorwort der Herausgeber, Verzeichnisse der Filme, Schriften und betreuten Hochschularbeiten des Jubilars sowie 35 wissenschaftliche Beiträge. Die von ihnen abgedeckte Zeitspanne reicht vom Pleistozän bis zur Gegenwart, das räumliche Spektrum von Amerika über Europa bis Rußland und von Skandinavien bis zum Sudan. Im Detail beschäftigen die Aufsätze sich mit Siedlungen [Siedlungsdichte, prähistorische Hausnutzung, mittelalterliche Stadtgeschichte], Bestattungen [Gräberfeldanalyse, Moorleichen, Brandbestattung, Fürstengräber, Geschirrsätze, Kindergräber], Tracht [Suebenknoten, Textilien], Faustkeilen, Trinkhörnern, Runeninschriften, Religion [Irminsul, Glaubenswechsel in Nordeuropa], Deutungsmöglichkeiten von Hortfunden, Felsbildern in der Sahara, Klimawandel im Sudan, Museen und Ausstellungen, dem Keltenbild in der archäologischen Historiographie, der Kriegsführung [Entstehungsgeschichte, Waffen] bis hin zur Frage von Arbeitsmarktchancen für Archäologen.
The volume is humorously titled after a passage from the novel "The hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy" which the honoured likes to quote. It contains a foreword by the editors, three lists of Gebühr's films and publications and of university theses supervised by him as well as 35 scholarly contributions. They cover a time span from the Pleistocene to the present day and a spatial range from America via Europe to Russia and from Scandinavia to Sudan. In detail the articles are dealing with settlements [settlement density, prehistoric house use, Medieval city history], graves [cemetery analyses, bog bodies, cremations, princely burials, sets of pottery vessels, infant graves], appearance and dress [Suebic hair knot, textiles], handaxes, drinking-horns, runic inscriptions, religion [Irminsul, change of belief in Northern Europe], possible interpretations of hoards, rock art in the Sahara desert, climatic change in Sudan, museums and exhibitions, the image of the Celts in archaeological historiography, the history of war [origin, weapons], and last but not least the problem of chances for archaeologists on the labour market.
