Arklių gatvė 18, 18C

LT2012 m. APC vykdė detaliuosius archeologinius tyrimus Bazilijonų vienuolyno statinių ansamblio ir Švč. Trejybės cerkvės teritorijoje (UK 681), Arklių g.18, 18C Vilniuje. Detalieji tyrimai atlikti Bazilijonų vienuolyno teritorijos ŠV pusėje, rekonstruojamų buvusių vienuolyno ūkinių pastatų vietoje (Arklių g. 18, 18C). Iš viso tyrinėtas 375 m2 plotas. Detaliųjų archeologinių tyrimų Arklių g. 18, 18C metu nustatyta, kad XVII a. pradžioje Bazilijonų vienuolyno ŠV dalyje (ūkinio kiemo vietoje) būta mūrinių pastatų su rūsiais. Pastatai stovėjo giliau į kiemo pusę nuo dabartinės Arklių gatvės, orientuoti Š–P kryptimi. Tiksliai nustatyti, kada jie buvo nugriauti, nepavyko. Žinoma tiek, kad XIX a. pradžioje šios dalies išplanavimas praktiškai atitinka dabartinį. Surastų pamatų ir rūsių liekanos stipriai suardytos XVIII–XIX a. sandūroje statant dabartinius Arklių g. 18, 18C korpusus ir XX a. II pusėje tiesiant inžinerines komunikacijas. [...] [p. 490, 495].

ENIn 2012, the APC conducted an excavation (a total of 375 m2) on the grounds of the Basilian monastery building complex and the Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity at Arklių st. 18, 18C in Vilnius. This occurred at the site of a former monastery utility building being reconstructed on the NW side of the grounds and at the sites of the utility lines being reconstructed in the inner courtyard. A 1.2 m thick cultural layer was recorded inside the building at Arklių st. 18. It was determined that its horizons had been destroyed down to sterile soil in the second half of the 20th century. An undisturbed 40–90 cm thick, 17th century cultural layer horizon has survived fragmentally only at the pit sites (pits 1–2) and in the vicinity of stove base. Wall fragments from various periods were found inside the building: the transmission wall and garage pit foundations from the second half of the 20th century, an 18th century transmission wall with an arch, and a fragment of a stove base dating to the first half of the 17th century. It was also determined that an 8.5 x 5.2 m basement room, which dates to the first half mid 17th century and was later filled with rubble, had existed in the S part of the building at Arklių st. 18. The cultural layer horizons in the E part (area 1) of the building at Arklių st. 18C were destroyed down to a depth of 1.5 m during the 20th century. The cultural layer in test pit 1 (area 1) was 2.2 m thick with a 40 cm thick cultural layer horizon dating to the first half of the 17th century being recorded at a depth of 1.8 m.A 19th century wall fragment was discovered in area 1 and a fragment of a clay-bound stone structure dating to the turn of the 17th century was recorded in test pit 1. It was determined that the cultural layer was up to 2.7 m thick in the central part (room 1) of Arklių st. 18C. The upper horizons were destroyed to a depth of 60 cm (test pit 3) to 1.4–1.6 m (test pits 2, 4). Fragments of 17th century walls were discovered in room 1. A fragment of an early 17th century stove was recorded in test pit 3 and 17th century wall fragments in test pits 2 and 4. A cultural layer up to 2 m thick was recorded at the sites of the sewerage line trenches. Its horizons had been destroyed in the 20th century during the reconstruction of the monastery’s grounds and the laying of utility lines. Early 17th century masonry wall fragments were discovered in trenches 1 and 2: the remains of basement walls in trench 1 and early 17th century foundation fragments and the N part of the basement, recorded during the 2006 investigation, in trench 2. Two 17th century masonry foundation wall fragments were recorded at the site of the gas line. No undisturbed cultural layer horizon was reached at the site of the renovation of the external foundation of the W wall of the building at Arklių st. 17.During an excavation at Arklių st. 18, 18C, it was determined that in the early 17th century masonry buildings with basements existed in the NW part of the Basilian monastery (the site of the work yard). The buildings stood further back into courtyard from the present-day Arklių street and ran N–S. The attempt to determine the exact date when the buildings were demolished failed. It is only known that the early 19th-century layout of this part virtually coincides with the present-day layout. The discovered building and basement remains were severely destroyed at the turn of the 19th century in erecting the present-day buildings at Arklių st. 18, 18C and in laying utility lines in the second half of the 20th century. Various 15th–19th century finds were discovered during the excavation.
