In the Nordic countries birch and other of our common wood species were used for this, yet, in the old account books one can also find remarks on the imports of wood during the 15th and 16th centuries, possibly for the material of the artworks, for the most part possibly mainly for the chairs and chests in the castles as well as bishops’ seats and choir screens, e.g. for the needs of the churches.1 This short outline of the wood use in medieval ecclesiastical sculpture and church furnishing is included in Emil Nervander’s (1840–1914) essay on church art in Finland, published in a series of Kansanvalistusseuran toimituksia (1887), a journal aimed for the education of the public.

The objective of maritime spatial planning is to agree on the long-term principles of use of the Estonian marine a rea in order to attain and maintain a good status of the marine environment and promote the maritime economy. On 20 December 2018, Finland announced that it vvould participate in the environmental assessment of the Estonian Maritime Spatial Pian. The environmental assessment is carried out based on the Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment appended to the UN Economic Commission for Europe Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (the Espoo Convention). According to the Protocol, Finland has the right to participate in the environmental assessment of a pian or programme to be implemented in another State if the implementation of the pian or programme vvould have significant environmental impacts on Finland. This means that authorities, residents and communities in Finland have the opportunity to issue statements and opinions concerning the Estonian Maritime Spatial Pian and its environmental assessment. Under the Act on the Environmental Impact Assessment of Authorities' Plans and Programmes (200/2005), the Ministry of the Environment shall look after the notification and negotiation tasks related to the environmental assessment of the pian or programme with the State in question.

  • Archaeological Sites and Land Use Planning in Finland
    TEIJA TIITINEN The Finnish Heritage Agency Cultural Environment Services Archaeological Sites and Land Use Planning in Finland ABSTRACT: The Finnish Antiquities Act is a very strong law, mandating the protection of all an- cient sites immediately after they have been found. However, it is very inefficient in preserving the surrounding environment or landscape of the ancient sites. All land use in Finland is gov- erned by plans. The Local Master plans are the most important for defining the allowed land use in the vicinity of ancient sites. This paper explores how ancient sites and their environment have been treated in these plans. The analysis showed that a significant portion of the ancient sites covered by the Local Master plans are situated in environments that can be characterised as modern. In addition, the places that are situated in economically less important and less modern environments are those that will be best preserved in the future. KEYWORDS: Ancient remains, cultural landscape, cultural environment, land use planning, local master plans. INTRODUCTION The Finnish Antiquities Act is a very strong law. It automatically protects, without separate Ancient monuments are the oldest historical layers measures required, all antiquities which are within of the landscape.

An Investigation of Vulnerabilities in Ekenäs Old Town Jack Henry Raisanen Thesis for a Bachelor of Natural Resources Degree (UAS) The Degree Programme of Sustainable Coastal Management Raseborg, Finland, 2019 CE DEGREE THESIS Author: Jack Henry Raisanen Degree programme and place: Sustainable Coastal Management, Campus Raseborg Supervisors: Lecturer Romi Rancken and Docent Patrik Byholm Title: Destructive Flooding of Cultural Heritage: Our Future and New Normal? An Investigation of Vulnerabilities in Ekenäs Old Town __________________________________________________________________________ Date: May 24, 2019 Number of pages: 58 Appendices: 30 __________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Higher and more common coastal flooding, due to sea level rise and changes in wind patterns, may endanger Ekenäs Old Town (SV: Gamla stan i Ekenäs; FI: Tammisaaren vanha kaupunki) by year 2100. Cultural heritage, including protected buildings and archeologically significant areas, will likely become at greater risk due to flooding. Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) data and projections have been adapted to Ekenäs Old Town. Sea level rise and storm surge projections, sea level records, and minimum recommended building elevations have been modeled and analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS). Potentially affected areas of Ekenäs Old Town have been further analyzed through study of the Finnish Heritage Agency’s 2002 archaeological inventory of Ekenäs Old Town and targeted field work. Data and information have also been collected from the City of Raseborg and a local resident. Due to already existing risks to cultural heritage, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland should designate Ekenäs Old Town as a significant flood risk area in accordance with legislation governing flood risk management (620/2010).

  • Researching Cultural Objects and Manuscripts in a Small Country: the Finnish Experience of Raising Awareness of Art Crime
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 23 March 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201803.0201.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Arts 2018, 7, 19; doi:10.3390/arts7020019 Article Researching Cultural Objects and Manuscripts in a Small Country: The Finnish Experience of Raising Awareness of Art Crime Suzie Thomas 1,*, Rick Bonnie 1,2, Helen Dixon 3 and Visa Immonen 4 1 Department of Cultures, Faculty of Arts, University of Helsinki, Finland 2 Department of Biblical Studies, Faculty of Theology, University of Helsinki, Finland 3 Department of Religion, Wofford College, Spartanburg, SC, USA 4 Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Humanities, University of Turku, Finland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In this article we shed light on the position of Finland in conversations on the movement of unprovenanced cultural objects, within the national, the Nordic and the global contexts. Finland’s geopolitical position, as a ‘hard border’ of the European Union neighbouring the Russian Federation, and its current legislative provisions which do not include import regulation, mean that nonetheless has the potential to be significant in understanding the movement of cultural property at transnational levels. In particular, we outline a recent initiative started at the University of Helsinki to kick-start a national debate on ethical working with cultural object and manuscripts. We analyse exploratory research on current awareness and opinion within Finland, and summarize our current work to produce robust research ethics to guide scholars working in Finland. Although Finland has a small population and is usually absent from international discussions on the illicit movement of cultural property (save a few exceptions), we argue that it is still possible — and important — to affect policy and attitudes concerning art crime, provenance, and the role of stakeholders such as decision-makers, traders and the academy.
