Papilio gatvė 3

LTŽvalgomieji tyrimai atlikti numatomos tiesti vandentiekio trasos vietoje, žvalgymai-remontuojamos šiluminės trasos vietoje. Vandentiekio trasa buvo tiesiama prastūmimo būdu nuo pastato Papilio g. 5 PV kampo iki pastato Papilio g. 3 ŠV kampo. Žvalgomųjų tyrimų metu buvo iškasti 2 šurfai trasos pradžioje ir jos gale bei 1 šurfas trasos posūkyje. Šiluminė trasa iš Papilio gatvės buvo nutiesta 1984 m., jos vietoje jokie archeologiniai tyrimai ar žvalgymai nebuvo atlikti. Remontuojamos trasos ilgis su posūkiais yra 15 m, plotis-1,1-1,5 m, gylis-1,4–2 m, ištirtas plotas-apie 24 m2 . Tyrinėtas sklypas yra senamiesčio ŠV dalyje, prie Kauno pilies gynybinio griovio P krašto, tarp kadaise buvusio Bernardinų skersgatvio ir Neries gatvės. [...] [p. 277].

ENDuring the field evaluation, three test pits (a total of 10 m2 ) were excavated. At the excavated locations, geological layers were discovered only in test pit 2, where they were at a depth of 160-170 cm. The cultural layer consisted of fill layers of gravel with sandy loam taken from the castle’s S defensive ditch. The foundation of the building at Papilio st. 3 was unearthed in test pit 3; it is older than the upper part of the present building and should be dated to the 16th century. No archaeological finds were discovered, only chips of human ribs having been found in the bottom layer of gravel in test pit 2. At the site of heating line being repaired, 19.2 m2 were surveyed. Cultural layers had survived only at the E end of the line where, down to the bottom of the ditch, layers of sand and mixed gravel and sand were discovered under the layers of asphalt and crushed stone. A 1.15 m wide foundation datable to the 16th century was found near the building at Papilio St. 3. This was a continuation of the foundation of the N wall of the building at Papilio st. 3 and had survived after the W part of the Sapiega house had been demolished in 1929. Two masonry walls, perhaps from the basement stairwell, had been built during a later reconstruction on the inside of the N foundation. Few finds were discovered, mostly brick and flat roof tile chips. A diamond-shaped, green glazed floor tile was an exceptional find.
