ENDuring an excavation and survey at Šv. Jono st. 3, 602 m2 were investigated: 460.8 m2 were excavated down to natural soil and 141.2 m2 were surveyed. A barrel vault from a first half of the 17th century basement passageway was unearthed in newly dug basement room 1. The passageway’s purpose was to join the Gothic basement rooms in the N and E palace buildings. Three fragments of the foundation of a smaller building(?) from the early 17th century were discovered in room 2. A masonry wall, a column, and a column foundation from the 17th century palace’s arcade were unearthed in the E part of room 3. The cultural layer in rooms 1–3 was 2.6–3.1 m thick and contained finds dating to the 16th-18th centuries The cultural layer in the basement’s existing rooms ranged in thickness from 30–45 cm to 0.9–1 m and contained finds dating to the 16th–19th centuries. Cobble paving was found in four rooms at a similar depth (50–70 cm) and is contemporaneous, having been laid prior to the 1748 fire.The cultural layer in trench 1 was 2.45 m thick. 16th(?)-17th century finds were discovered in the lower waterproofing layer. Two masonry wall fragments and part of a basement vault were unearthed in trench 2. The discovered walls are the remains of a building that stood on historical plot (Lith. posesija) 431, was mentioned since the early 16th century, and was demolished in the 1950s. The masonry foundation fragments discovered in trench 3 are the remains of an earlier building that existed until the first half of the 17th century. The cultural layer in area 1 in the palace’s inner courtyard had been disturbed down to a depth of 1.5–2.5 m during the laying of various underground utility lines. A 40–70 cm waterproofing layer with sparse 16th(?)-17th century finds was reached at a depth of 1.85– 2.1 m. In K. Sirvydo Square, fragments of simple stone and arched foundations ascribable to the classical and baroque periods were unearthed during the renovation of the heating main. Four launch and receiving pits were dug in installing the new domestic sewer line. A 0.9-1.3 m thick layer of topsoil without any finds was noted in pits 1 and 4, which were dug on a hillock to the S of the palace. The masonry walls unearthed in pits 2–3 are the basement walls and foundation of the three-storey building (known as the Gucevičius House) that stood on historical plot (Lith. posesija) 431 up until the end of the Second World War.
