Šventosios 1 akmens amžiaus radimvietė

LT2016 m. vykdyti žvalgomojo pobūdžio archeologiniai tyrimai Šventosios senovės gyvenvietėje (UK 1813) (Palangos miestas), Šventosios 1 radimvietėje, sklype Mokyklos g. 81. Darbai vyko įgyvendinant projektą "Pirmųjų žemdirbių mityba Lietuvoje 3200–2400 m. pr. Kr. Maisto liekanų senovinėje keramikoje biocheminiai tyrimai" (APP–6/2016), finansuojamą Lietuvos mokslo tarybos. Ieškota senųjų perkasų ir virvelinės keramikos laboratoriniams tyrimams. Šventosios 1 radimvietė aptikta kasant melioracijos griovius 1966–1967 m. žiemą. 1967–1969 m. R. Rimantienė joje ištyrė 1860 m2 plotą (Rimantienė R., Akmens amžiaus žvejai prie Pajūrio lagūnos, Vilnius, 2005, p. 220– 267). [...] [p. 52].

ENIn 2016, in implementing the project the diet of the first farmers in Lithuania, 3200–2400 cal bc: Biochemical investigation of food residues from ancient pottery (APP–6/2016), which is financed by the Research Council of Lithuania, a survey investigation was conducted at the sub-neolithic neolithic Šventoji 1 site. In order to determine the boundaries of the previous trenches and foresee the most promising locations to excavate, 44 boreholes were drilled and 5 test pits (18 m2 ) and 2 trenches (30 m2 ) were excavated. 8 flint, 12 amber, and 5 wooden artefacts, 31 sherds of hand built pottery, and 126 worked and natural stones that had been used as new weights were discovered in the lacustrine sediments (sapropel) as well as in the topsoil and the backfill of the old trenches. Based on the typology of the pottery and the stratigraphy, the finds date to the late sub-neolithic first half of the neolithic (3200–2400 cal bc). During the investigation, the location of R. Rimantienė’s 1967– 1969 trenches was identified but the archaeological layer beside them appeared to contain too little information to be able to meet the project’s objectives and therefore the investigation was not expanded. A possibility remains that layer fragments with greater find densities have survived at other parts of the Šventoji 1 site but in order to find them, it will be necessary to plan a systematic field evaluation with test pits and trenches in a significantly greater area.
