Šv. Stepono gatvė 12

LT2018 m. UAB „IREC Baltic“ Šv. Stepono g. 12 sklype pradėjo statyti gyvenamąjį pastatą su požeminiais garažais. Prieš vykdant statybos darbus detaliuosius tyrimus atliko KVP. Sklypas 2018 m. nebuvo iki galo ištirtas, tyrimus numatyta pratęsti 2019 m. Iki šiol sklypas tirtas du kartus: 2002 m. K. Katalynas ištyrė penkis 2x2 m dydžio šurfus (ATL 2002 metais, 2005, p. 199–200). Fiksuotas 1,35–2,95 m storio kultūrinis sluoksnis datuotas XV–XX a. Jis ploniausias sklypo PR dalyje ir storėja ŠV kryptimi. 1 m gylyje atidengtas iš netašytų akmenų sukrautas XVII a. I puse ar viduriu datuojamas grindinys. 2017 m. L. Kvizikevičius (ATL 2017 metais, 2018, p. 410–411) palei sklypo pakraščius buvusių XIX a. pastatų vietose ištyrė penkis šurfus, kurių bendras plotas siekė 9,81 m2. Nustatyta, jog sklype susiformavęs 2,4 m ar storesnis kultūrinis sluoksnis, datuojamas XVI–XX a. Sklypo Š dalyje apie 1,4–1,6 m gylyje yra išlikęs neaiškaus laiko iš netašytų akmenų klotas grindinys.

ENIn 2018, KVP excavated 1595.8 m2 at Šv. Stepono St. 12 and recorded a cultural layer, up to 4.2 m thick, that dates to the mid-16th–20th centuries. The archaeologically valuable cultural layers were about 1.8 m thick and descend towards the NW. The investigation revealed that soil erosion in the SE had led to the formation of layers, up to 50 cm thick, of clean yellow sand that contains no foreign material or finds. It was determined that in the second half of the 17th–18th centuries the changes occurred on the plot fairly intensively: the remains of two stone pavings: from the early and mid-17th century were discovered. The buildings were also replaced more than once: masonry walls M2–3, M8–10 dating to the 18th century; M4 and M6 to the late 17th – first half of the 18th century, and M5 to the second half of the 17th century were discovered. The cultural layer from the same period, the second half of the 17th – early 18th centuries was up to 1 m thick. The rotten wood, stove tile remnants, and sparse metal finds discovered in the second half of the 16th-century cultural layer excavated below it allow one to see that wooden buildings predominated on the plot during the period under discussion and that the first masonry buildings appeared on the plot in the second half of the 17th century. The earliest layer recorded above the sterile soil dates to the mid-16th century. [From the publication]
