ENDuring the 2013 season, 183 m2 were excavated in the S part of the office building being erected at Vilniaus st. 41. The cultural layer was 4–8 m thick (Habs 105.60−110.40 m). 887 valuable 15th–20th centuries finds were catalogued. No traces of the area’s earliest 15th century habitation have survived. Filled 16th century pits were discovered in the central part. The only 15th century find, a Casimir IV Jagiellon groat, was found in the late 16th early 17th centuries layer. The excavation of the S part of the fill of a 16th century pit at the excavation area’s N wall was finished in 2013. The excavation of the pit’s larger N part had occurred in 2012 but had stopped at the S wall of the area excavated that season. Based on the material from the earliest layers of the pit’s fill: the remains of cooking pots and vases discovered during the 2012 excavation season, it is possible to think that it had been dug in the first half of the 16th century. 16th early 17th centuries finds, including the corner of a polychrome−glazed Renaissance rosette from the second quarter of the 16th century and a 1563 silver Sigismund II August 3 groat coin were discovered the later layers of the pit’s fill during the 2012 and 2013 excavation seasons.Valuable 17th–18th centuries layers have survived throughout the excavated area and contain characteristic contemporaneous finds: polychrome and green glazed stove tile fragments from the first half of the 17th century that are decorated with trellis gate and floral designs as well as isolated examples with the Radvila eagle coat of arms, household pottery remnants, nails, lead bullets, and shoe heel plates. Among the numismatic finds, the John II Casimir copper shillings mostly minted in the 1660s should be assigned to this layer. Later, less valuable layers formed during the construction of an early 19th century home and its reconstruction in the 20th century.
