Late Medieval Hypocausts with Heat Storage in Estonia
Andres Tvauri LATE MEDIEVAL HYPO CAUSTS WITH HEAT STORAGE IN ESTONIA INTRODUCTION As often happens with archaeologists, the stimulus for writing this article was a discovery unexpectedly brought to light from under the ground. In autumn 2007, I had the opportunity to study a large medieval heat storage furnace (Figs. 1 and 2) constituting the central part of the hot air heating system, or hypo caust, of a former grooms’ building. It was unexpectedly unearthed in the course of construction work in the outer bailey of the medieval Order Castle of Viljandi.1 The furnace found in the Viljandi Castle was a nice but, in the context of Estonian medieval fi nds, rather ordinary discovery. In Old Livonia, roughly corresponding to the territory of present-day Estonia and Latvia, hot air heating systems in which the core was a furnace fi lled with large stones, making it possible to store heat and rid oneself of the need to con- stantly heat the furnace or the fi replace, was used in the 13th to the 16th centuries before the introduction of Dutch tile stoves in castles, monas- teries and in residential and public buildings in towns. Starting in the 1930s, such furnaces, or their archaeologically studied remains, have been found in numerous medieval buildings in Estonia. The furnace found in Viljandi induced me to look for literature about hypo causts with heat storage. With the assistance of my colleague Erki Russow, the most thorough paper on medieval hot air heating systems ever written soon landed on my desk – a thesis published by the Ger- man researcher Klaus Bingenheimer in 1998, Die Luftheizungen des Mittelalters.

EÜL is very grateful for the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society (Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital), Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, Tallinn University and Tartu Mill. Welcome! Dear Friends from the European student movement, I am most happy to welcome you on behalf of Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) to the 35th European Students’ Convention (ESC) in Tallinn. EÜL is hosting ESC for the very first time and we have chosen our medieval yet high tech capital as the intriguing venue. The ESC “Inclusive Student Movement” concentrates on the safety and well- being of international students in the society and their inclusion in the student movement. EÜL sees problems with the latter aspects both in Estonia and in Europe at large. Together with globalization the internationalisation of higher education in Europe has increased rapidly. Each year there are more and more students who continue their studies abroad. Unfortunately, different societies are not always welcoming of international people, causing the students to experience discrimination in different forms. Furthermore not all higher education institutions are prepared to offer the necessary support and information needed to make the integration of international students and the overcoming of cultural barriers smooth. In addition, there is also a lack of representation of international students on the local, national and international level in the student bodies. The prior description paints a quite gloomy picture. We see there’s a lot of room for improvement. And there always will be because its like Don Quixote and his fights with the windmills.

After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

Additional figures for noise exposure to individual noise sources (road, rail, air, industry, and leisure/entertainment) can also be included. (max. 800 words & 5 graphics, images or tables) The heavy industry that generated noise stopped operating after Estonia regained its independence in 1991, which is why there is no (noise-generating) heavy industry in the classic sense in the administrative territory of Tallinn. Former areas of heavy industry have been mainly turned into business districts. The increase in the number of cars and transit on railways and roads increased until 2008, when the decline and stabilisation caused by the recession arrived.
