LTVilniaus g. 41, Lietuvos teatro, muzikos ir kino muziejaus teritorijos V dalyje, naujai statomo administracijos pastato (4 korpuso) būsimo rūsio vietoje 2012 m. buvo ištirtas 130 m2 plotas. Tyrimų plotas yra XVI a. pradžioje gynybine siena aptvertoje Vilniaus senamiesčio dalyje, Vilijos (Vilniaus) vartų P ir Trakų vartų ŠV prieigose. Apie teritorijoje buvusius XIV–XVI a. pastatus neturime tikslių kartografijos duomenų. 2012 m. tyrimų sezono metu buvo ištirta 130 m2 dydžio XIX a. pradžios pastato liekanų Š dalis. Čia numatomas įrengti muziejaus administracinio pastato 4 korpuso rūsys. Kultūrinio sluoksnio storis siekė 4,5 m (Habs 110,30–105,80 m). Ankstyviausieji XV a. teritorijos apgyvendinimo pėdsakai išlikę fragmentiškai. Ploto P dalyje ant geltono smėlio įžemio aptiktos juodos žemės su angliukais, XV a. I pusės sluoksnio liekanos su to meto būdingų keraminių indų-virimo puodų fragmentais. Geriau išlikusio puodo pakraštėlis puoštas bangele ir horizontaliomis juostelėmis, ryškiai profiliuotu kakleliu. Puodų fragmentai apdegę, degti oksidacinėje aplinkoje, molio liesiklis-grūstas granitas, gausiau naudotas formuojant indų dugnus. XVI a.

ENIn 2012, the N part (130 m2) of the remains of an early 19th century building was excavated at Vilniaus st. 41. The creation of a basement for block 4 of the Lithuanian Theatre, Music and Cinema Museum’s administration building is planned at this site. The cultural layer was 4.5 m thick. The earliest cultural layer horizon, which is from the first half of the 15th century and contains the remains of coeval household pottery vessels, has survived fragmentally. A fragment of a 15th century gothic stove tile and a Prague groat were discovered in later layers. It is possible to think that the earliest traces of the area’s habitation and the surface that existed at that time were destroyed during late 16th early 17th century construction and landscaping. This was indirectly confirmed by the isolated fragments of 15th century household pottery vessels found in the 17th century layers. 16th early 17th century layers have survived in a depression seen in the S profile of the excavated area. A unique collection of household pottery vessels was discovered in a layer of light brown soil that formed in the lower part of the depression in the first half of the 16th century. In addition to the cooking pots known from the earlier period of the late 15th century, vases that began to be produced in the early 16th century were discovered at this site. The horizons from the first half of the 17th century have survived in almost the entire excavated area. Comparatively few finds were discovered in the layers from this period: isolated panel stove tiles (Blattkacheln) from the second quarter of the 16th century that have a polychrome glaze, late 16th century specimens with green glaze decorated with four coffers, 16th century "bowl-shaped" stove tiles (Schüsselkacheln) with a square mouth, and the remains of household pottery vessels.A fragment of stone paving with a gutter that date to the first half of the 17th century had survived in the S part of the area. A foundation fragment from a 17th century masonry structure was found in the area’s W profile. A hoard of 37 16th early 17th century silver coins was found near the area’s S profile. The mint year of the latest, precisely datable hoard coin, a Sigismund III Vasa Rīga shilling, was 1604. Many remnants of stove tiles, which date from the first half of the 17th century, were covered with only green glaze, and were decorated with trellis and coffer designs; local and imported ceramic vessels; household pottery vessels; and fragments of isolated "bowlshaped" stove tiles with a square mouth were discovered in the layers from the mid 17th early 18th centuries. Various metal artefacts are assigned to these layers: the remains of shoe heel plates and lead bullets, and numismatic material: coins and commercial seals. Six John II Casimir shillings minted in the 1660s were found in the horizons from this period. In many of the excavated areas pits had been dug into the mid 17th century surface, three of which contained rubbish from putting the immediate and nearby buildings in order: stove tile fragments, household pottery sherds, and various metal artefacts. One pit contained a John II Casimir shilling. The layers from the second half of the 18th century were destroyed in the early 19th century during the construction of a house.
