ENIn 2013, the excavations (848 m2) at the site of water and sewerage lines were continued in the town of Kernavė (Širvintos district). In 2013, a cultural layer was discovered in the approaches to Vilniaus street throughout the central part of Kernavė. The earliest cultural layer, which dates to the 15th century, was recorded to the N and NE of the existing church. A find-rich 16th–18th centuries layer was discovered in the approaches to Vilniaus and Kriveikiškių streets. The areas excavated in Kerniaus street contained a cultural layer going back to the 14th century that included areas destroyed during the 18th century (by pits). 14th–15th centuries household pottery, metal smelting waste, and individual finds: a silver ring with a braided bezel, a bone comb, a band (?) ring, and part of a set of scales were also discovered. 14th century storage pits with household pottery, the grave, metal smelting waste, and a large quantity of animal bones, ceramics and individual finds: a bronze comb, a diamond-shaped pendant from a necklace, bronze fasteners, and an iron awl were found in Ruseckų street. A flat bracelet fragment, a cast ring with a thickened bezel decorated with incisions, and a fragment of a sheet metal flat brooch were also discovered.A 5.2 m deep clay extraction pit was unearthed and excavated at Vilniaus st. 81.
