Santakos gatvė 11

LTKauno miesto savivaldybė ir Krepšinio federacija sklype Santakos g. 11 planuoja statyti 1846 m2 ploto Lietuvos krepšinio namų pastatą. 2019 m. detaliųjų tyrimų tikslas buvo ištirti numatomo statyti pastato Š dalies pamatų, priešgaisrinių rezervuarų ir inžinerinių tinklų trasų vietas. Bendras atliktų detaliųjų archeologinių tyrimų ir žvalgymų plotas yra 473 m2. Tyrinėtas sklypas Santakos g. 11 yra senamiesčio PV dalyje, 4 kvartale, kurį iš Š riboja Santakos, iš R – Bernardinų, iš P – Prieplaukos gatvės. Į V nuo kvartalo yra tušti Neries ir Nemuno santakos plotai. Kvartalo ir sklypo V riba sutampa su Nemuno ir Neries santakos viršsalpinės terasos šlaito kraštu. Tyrinėta vieta yra Kauno senamiesčio PV dalyje, kurioje XV a. buvo suplanuoti 3 atskiri miesto kvartalai, čia yra XV a. II pusėje – XVI a. pradžioje pastatytas miesto jurisdikcijai nepriklausęs Bernardinų vienuolynas ir Kauno pilis. Toliau į V yra Nemuno ir Neries santakos parkas, kuriame dar XIX a. miesto planuose buvo žymima didelė sala su protaka. Dabartinis sklypų išplanavimas ir užstatymas teritorijos Š dalyje formavosi XV– XVI a., P – tik XIX a. pradžioje. [...] [p. 231-232].

ENAn excavation (a total of 473 m2) was conducted on the plot at Santakos St. 11, Kaunas. Three trenches (I–III) and four test pits (1–4) (a total of 190.75 m2) were excavated down to geological layers at the site of the foundation for the N part of the building for the House of Basketball, revealing the horizons, dating to the 15th–20th centuries, of a 2.2– 3.9 m thick cultural layer. Clear traces of a fire in the 15th – early 16th century were recorded at all of the excavated locations. The remains of two 17th-century stoves were discovered at the W end of trench II. One was a hypocaust, the other household, but their purpose remains unclear. A coin horde from the first half of the 15th century was discovered at a depth of 2.2 m in the E wall of trench III and consisted of 52 Vytautas denars and 19 Prague groats. Test pits 1–5 and trenches IV–VI (a total of 167 m2) were excavated in the central and S parts of the plot and revealed cultural layers up to 4.2 m thick. Trench V was excavated down to the planned depth of Habs 22.70 m but no geological layers were reached. It contained the remains of 16th-century wooden buildings (?) and wooden – masonry constructions with no clear purpose as well as road-grade fieldstone paving from the second half of the 16th–18th centuries (?).The archaeological finds include sherds of 15th–20thcentury ‘pot-shaped’ (Topfkacheln) and panel (Blattkacheln) stove tiles, sherds of diverse household pottery, pipes, roof tiles, non-ferrous and ferrous metal artefacts, a small whetstone, copper and silver coins, leather artefacts, and scrap leather. In laying the utility lines, archaeological investigations were conducted only at the sites of access pits, where 11 various-sized test pits (6–16) (a total of 35.5 m2) were excavated. Cultural layers had survived only in test pits 7, 12, and 14, where layers from the second half of the 17th–18th centuries were recorded under a 90–160 cm thick, 19th–20th-century fill layer.
