LT2013 m. LII archeologinė ekspedicija tęsė Nidos neolito gyvenvietės 1 tyrimus Kuršių nerijoje, pradėtus 2011 m. (ATL 2011 metais, V., 2012, p. 26−30). Darbai vykdyti mokslinio projekto "Lietuvos pajūrio neolitizacija" (VP1−3.1−ŠMM−07−K−03−021) rėmuose. Numatyti tokie uždaviniai: a) rekonstruoti paleoreljefą į P ir Š nuo Nidos akmens amžiaus gyvenvietės; b) nustatyti archeologinio sluoksnio stratigrafiją ir chronologiją gyvenvietės Š dalyje; c) įvertinti archeologinio sluoksnio ir radinių būseną, tyrimų žemiau gruntinio vandens lygio perspektyvas. Kasinėjant ir plaunant žemes aptikti 3679 (18,4 kg) archeologiniai radiniai: 2602 vienetai (10,24 kg) keramikos, 215 vienetų (143 g) silicitinių uolienų, 735 vienetai (7,92 kg) kitų akmens radinių, 13 vienetų (4,15 g) gintaro radinių, 114 vienetų (66 g) gyvūnų kaulų, daugiausia perdegusių. Visą keramiką galima skirti Pamarių kultūrai ir preliminariai datuoti 3000−2500 m. pr. Kr. Vyrauja indai gausiomis smulkiomis ir vidutinėmis mineralinėmis priemaišomis liesinta molio mase, pasitaikė keletas liesintų šamotu ir smėliu, šamotu ir kvarcu. [...] [p. 30, 32-33].
ENIn 2013, an LII expedition continued the excavation, begun in 2011, of Nida 1 neolithic settlement on the curonian spit. The palaeorelief was reconstructed using GPR profiling every 10 m; the created model has not been checked using invasive methods. One 26.8 m² trench was excavated at the site of an ancient slope. All of the unearthed finds were recorded in 3D and the soil was wet screened through 4 and 2 mm mesh. It was determined that the archaeological layer is palaeo–topsoil, which drops from a depth of 15 cm to 3.2 m and is well below the groundwater level. The ancient slope was covered by blown sand, but after the wind had subsided people settled there again and left the upper archaeological layer. The soil acidity is somewhat less below the groundwater level and the environment is more reduction, consequently bone material has survived better. A large quantity of pottery, stone, and flint finds, some amber, and some animal and fish bones were discovered. All of the finds are from the Pamarių culture and were preliminarily dated to 3000−2500 BC. The pottery had very diverse shapes with cording, incised lines, fingerprints, and pinching predominating among the decorations. The flint was very small beach pebbles knapped using bipolar percussion. The project’s work in Nida will be continued in 2014. It will be expedient in the future to find technical equipment and the funds to excavate not only part of the 2013 trench down to sterile soil, but also some of the trenches excavated during 1974−1978, where only the upper archaeological layer was excavated. The "Lietuvos pajūrio neolitizacija" [The Neolithisation of the Lithuanian Coast] project is financed by the Research Council of Lithuania (VP1−.1−ŠMM−07−K−03−021).
