Stepono bažnyčios, joks užstatymas nepažymėtas. Sklypo Algirdo g. 73 archeologai iki šiol netyrinėjo, archeologiniai tyrinėjimai kelių šimtų m spinduliu nuo šios vietos yra vykę. [...] [p. 155].

ENIn 2016, 30 m2 were excavated at Algirdo st. 73 in Naujamiestis, Vilnius. The initial 2 x 1 m test pit revealed a mixed 20th century cultural layer up to 1.6 m thick with finds characteristic of the 19th century and several 17th–18th century finds. A survey was then conducted which yielded isolated human bones and disturbed human burial 1 which had no clear chronology. A 30 m² trench was then executed at this site. Seven of the burials (1–7) in it, several of which had been disturbed by previous earthwork, were excavated. The remains of one destroyed burial (8) were recorded and another two burials were discovered but not excavated. The individuals had been interred in log and plank coffins with their heads to the W (270°–280°). Just a few coffin nails were found and no grave goods. The burials should be preliminarily dated to the late 17th early 19th century. The remains bear abundant traces of lesions and diseases. A large quantity of 17th/18th–20thcentury finds were discovered in the mixed layer including a weapon from the first half of the 19th century, a fascine knife (Ger. Faschinenmesser, Czech tesák). After restorers cleaned the weapon, a stamped Cyrillic inscription (regiment number, etc.-not all of the characters were legible) and the date 1859 were discovered. This means it was an Imperial Russian Army weapon.
