Pylimo gatvė 47, Gėlių gatvė 2

LT2016 m. gruodį-2017 m. sausį Vilniuje, Pylimo g. 47/Gėlių g. 2 namo patalpose vykdyti detalieji tyrimai. Čia numatyta įrengti kavinės bei technines patalpas. Iki įžemio ištirtos dvi patalpos 3 ir 4. Bendras tyrimų plotas 40,59 m2 . Tiriamų vietų numeracija tęstinė, nes tame pačiame name gretimose patalpose 2006–2007 m. kasinėjo Ingrida Vosyliūtė. 2006 m. buvo atlikti žvalgomieji archeologiniai tyrimai (ATL 2006 metais, 2007, p. 388–389; LIIR, f. 1, b. 4646). Pastato rūsiuose ištirti 6 šurfai, pastato patalpose-4 šurfai (bendras plotas 40 m2 ). Rūsiuose daugiausia rasta pavienių ne ankstesnių kaip XVIII a. radinių, archeologiškai svarbus sluoksnis nebuvo susiformavęs. Patalpose fiksuotas 3,32–3,52 m storio kultūrinis sluoksnis, ankstyviausi horizontai (apie 1,7 m gylyje) datuoti XVII a., rasta akmeninio grindinio ir neaiškios paskirties mūrinio statinio liekanų. 2007 m. tame pačiame pastate detaliuosius tyrimus atliko I. Vosyliūtė (ATL 2007 metais, 2008, p. 445–448). Iki įžemio visiškai ištirtos dvi pastate esančios patalpos (bendras tirtas plotas sudaro 50 m2), surinkta 715 radinių. Tirtos patalpos iš Š pusės ribojasi su 2016-2017 m. tirta patalpa 3. Tiriant nustatyta, kad šioje vietoje susiformavęs 3,04–3,40 m storio kultūrinis sluoksnis. Viršutiniai horizontai iki 1,1 m gylio (Habs 122,20 m) datuoti XIX–XX a. Giliau tirti XIX a. sluoksniai, po kuriais fiksuotos akmenų grindinio liekanos. 1,6–2,1 m gylyje (Habs 121,70–121,20 m) fiksuotas archeologiškai vertingas kultūrinis sluoksnis, kuris priskirtas buvusiam XVIII a. žemės paviršiui. Jis susiformavo pastačius dabar esantį pastatą. 2,2 m gylyje fiksuotas 30 cm storio su esamo pastato statybomis susijęs horizontas, kuris suardo po juo esantį XVII a. II pusės sluoksnį.

ENDuring 2016–2017, an excavation was conducted in the rooms of the house at Pylimo st. 47/Gėlių st. 2. A total of 40.59 m2 were excavated down to natural soil in two rooms (3 and 4). After investigating room 3, it was determined that at this location, the cultural layer was 3–3.2 m thick (Habs 123.30 m) but it was up to 4.4 m deep at the sites of the recorded digging. Layers and structures dating to the second half of the 18th–20th centuries were recorded down to a depth of 2 m, although earlier finds were also encountered. A cultural layer that consisted of 5–6 horizons and contained large quantities of household pottery sherds (29.6% of all the finds), as well as three pieces of upper millstones, which are worth mentioning, and large numbers of animal bone fragments (71.1% of all the bones) was excavated at a depth of 1.55–2.35 m. From the collected data, it was ascertained that intense agricultural activities had occurred at the site, wooden structures had predominated, a garden had been worked, and animals had been kept. This layer dates to the second half of the 17th–first half of the 18th century. At a depth of 1.95-2.8, a three horizon cultural layer dating to the 17th century was excavated. During the formation of these horizons, various agricultural activities, which had not existed up until then, began to occur actively on the plot. During these activities, pits (up to 4.4 m deep) started to be dug and were later filled with mixed soil containing pottery, small pieces of charcoal, and animal bones. At a depth of 2.35–3.05 m (down to Habs 120.25 m) a five-horizon cultural layer dating to the 16th century was found. Far fewer finds were collected: only fragments of household pottery and isolated animal bones.The recorded horizons have been washed by standing or flowing water. It is likely that the area had flooded, perhaps as a consequence of the construction of the city’s defensive wall in the early 16th century. At a depth of 2.9–3.2 m (down to Habs 120.10 m), a layer of black soil, which is conjectured to be the ground’s surface in the early 16th century, was found. After investigating room 4, it was determined that the cultural layer at this location was 2.4–2.65 m thick (Habs 123.59–123.57 m.) but at the sites of recorded digging, it was up to 3.7 m deep. The palaeorelief of this area was different from that in room 3 as no washed layers were recorded at this location and the natural soil appeared about 90 cm higher. It is likely that a somewhat drier hillock stood there beside a swampy or flooded area. In this vicinity, pits were dug in the second half of the 16th first half of the 17th century and filled with rubbish. On the surface and down to a depth of 1.55 m, a 5–6 horizon cultural layer dating to the second half of the 18th–20th centuries was found. Burnt planks, which could be connected with the 1817 fire on the plot, were recorded. Deeper, at a depth of 1.3–3.7 m, a 3.5 x 1.8 m pit with a fill, in which four horizons were distinguished, was recorded. It was determined that the pit had been filled in several stages in the second half of the 16th first half of the 17th century. Large quantities of household pottery sherds and animal bones were collected as well as other isolated artefacts, among which a fragment of a 1520s–1530s frieze stove tile (Frieskachel) with a female relief profile that has no analogy in Vilnius should be distinguished.
