LT2018 m. vykdyti žvalgymai ir detalieji tyrimai T. Daugirdo g. 1 sklype Kaune. Žemės sklypas T. Daugirdo g. 1 (unikalus numeris 4400– 3056–7149) patenka į Kauno senamiesčio (UK 20171) ir rūsių komplekso (UK 30532) teritorijas. Kadangi sklypas plačiai tyrinėtas 1980– 1994 m., o tyrinėtos vietos daugiausia užpiltos atvežtiniu gruntu, ankstesnių tyrimų vietose vykdyti žvalgymai. Aptikus vietas, kurios ankstesnių tyrimų metu nebuvo ištirtos, atlikti detalieji tyrimai. 2018 m. buvo numatyta ištirti apie 2 tūkst. m2 plotą. Užtrukus polinių pamatų įrengimo darbams, 2018 m. tyrinėtas 1050 m2 plotas. M. Bertašiaus tyrimų duomenimis, Kauno senamiesčio 6 kvartale užstatymas pradėjo formuotis dar XV a., intensyviausiai augo XVI– XVII a. XVII a. viduryje, vykstant karui su Maskva (1655–1660), natūrali kvartalo raida buvo nutraukta – XVII a. viduryje kultūrinis sluoksnis užkonservavo iki tol čia buvusių 4 posesijų sklypų planą. [...].

ENIn 2018, field evaluation and excavations were conducted at T. Daugirdo St. 1, Kaunas. During them, an area of 1050 m2 was excavated. This particular site has been previously investigated between the years 1980 and 1994, and most of the areas excavated during that period were backfilled with brought in soil. It was established during the 2018 investigation that archaeological layers in the depth between 1.5 m and 2.6 m were formed during the backfilling of areas investigated earlier. After the removal of these layers, previously identified archaeological features were uncovered and cleaned. These included basements numbered as 3 and 4 (dated between the 16th and 17th centuries), remains of a stone pavement and a tiled floor of the former building (dated to the first half of the 17th century), as well as fragments of a heat storage hypocaust (dated to 16th–17th centuries). The following dates were established during the 2018 investigations for the locations of basements in the former buildings: the second half of the 16th century, the period between the late 16th and the late 17th century. Other discoveries included remains of the former building’s earthen floor (dated to the 15th – early 16th century). Fragments of a horizon of cultural layers (measuring between 40 cm and 60 cm in thickness) were also investigated. They were dated between the 15th and the first half of the 16th century. The natural layer contained postholes and middens, which were dated to the period between the 15th and the beginning of the 17th century. Structure 16 is thought to be dating between the 1st millennium BC and the 2nd millennium AD. Thickness of the cultural layer varied between 2 m and 2.6 m across the site and reached up to 4.4 m in the locations of former buildings. [From the publication]
