Tyrimai Augustinų vienuolyno teritorijoje Vilniuje

LTSklype archeologiniai tyrimai vykdyti du kartus. 2011 m. žvalgomuosius tyrimus atliko L. Girlevičius. Jie vykdyti numatomo rekonstruoti pastato (vienuolyno R korpuso) rūsyje ir kieme. Ištirtas bendras 16,6 m2 plotas. Tyrimų metu po piltiniais XIX–XX a. sluoksniais tirti XVI–XVII a. sluoksniai su to meto radiniais, o pastato viduje tirtuose šurfuose aptikta pavienių žmonių kaulų iš suardytų kapų (ATL 2011 metais, V., 2012, p. 311–316). 2013 m. D. Antropikaitė sklype atliko žvalgomuosius tyrimus ir vykdant vienuolyno pastato rekonstrukcijos darbus atlikti žvalgymai. 2014 m. tyrimų metu lietaus nuotekų sistemos įrengimo vietoje atlikti detalieji tyrimai, kurių metu ištirta 190 m2 tranšėja 1. Šiluminės trasos rekonstrukcijos metu archeologiniai žvalgymai atlikti 136 m2 plote (tranšėja 5). Aptiktas 1,25–3,6 m storio XVII–XX a. kultūrinis sluoksnis. Tyrimų metu nustatyta, jog po piltiniais XX a. sluoksniais nuo 0,8–1,5 m gylio yra susiformavęs XVII a. sluoksnis su XVI–XVII a. radiniais (daugiausia rudos ir pilkos molio masės neglazūruotais virimo puodų, rudos molio masės glazūruotų stalo indų, keptuvių fragmentais, Kielcų keramikos šukėmis, puodyniniais neglazūruotais, žalia ir polichromine glazūra padengtų plokštinių ir karnizinių koklių fragmentais), kuris vietomis sunaikintas XX a. tiesiant požeminius inžinerinius tinklus. Šiame sluoksnyje centrinėje sklypo dalyje 1,5 m gylyje surastas Jono Kazimiero šilingų lobis, kuriame kartu su 103 šilingais rastas vario lydinio žiedas su stikline akute bei 16 gelsvo stiklo karoliukų.

ENIn 2014, an excavation (one trench, 190 m2) was conducted on the plot at Bokšto St. 15-Savičiaus st. 17 on the grounds of the Augustinian monastery. During the reconstruction of the heating line, monitoring was conducted in 136 m2 . A 1.25–3.6 m thick 17th-20th century cultural layer was discovered. It was determined that a 17th century layer, which had been destroyed in places in the 20th century while laying underground utility lines, had formed at a depth of 0.8-1.5 m2 under the 20th-century fill layers. A hoard of 103 John II Casimir shillings was found together with a copper alloy ring with a glass setting and 16 yellowish glass beads at a depth of 1.5 m in this layer in the central part of the plot. A grey sandy layer with small pieces of charcoal, i.e. the former original surface, which has been destroyed in most of the plot during later urbanisation, was recorded 1.2 m further down. Sterile soil consisting of yellow sand was reached at a depth of 1.3 m below the original surface. A total of 17 masonry wall fragments were unearthed during the investigation. The construction of the earliest wall on the plot is connected with the remains of a 15th century masonry basement discovered in the central part of the plot. Meanwhile the walls discovered in the S part of the plot are connected to the monastery’s S building, which stood at this site, was erected in the 17th century, and was reconstructed in the 18th century. The remains of the same monastery fence were unearthed in the central part of the plot. The cemetery discovered in 2013 in the central part of the plot was further excavated. In 2014, a total 19 burials, 12 of which were completely excavated and removed, were discovered. Based on the grave goods and the finds discovered beside the burials, the cemetery dates to the 16th-17th centuries.
