ENIn 2010, an evaluation was conducted in the territory of the old city of Vilnius and its suburbs. Two test pits (about 9.15 m²) were excavated at Arklių st. 22 and a 1.5–2 m thick, 17th–20th century cultural layer with household pottery sherds, stove tile fragments, a bottle glass shard, and hand-forged nails were discovered. Part of the cultural layer had been disturbed during earthwork in the 18th/19th–20th centuries. A 4 m2 test pit was excavated at Dysnos st. 2/Mėsinių st. 5. A roughly 2.65 m thick 17th–20th century cultural layer, which had been badly damaged during various 20th century earthwork, was recorded. 17th–19th century sherds of household pottery were found during the excavation. A 4 m2 test pit was excavated at Domininkonų st. 14. A destroyed 19th–20th century fill cultural layer that was more than 4.4 m thick and contained 17th–19th century sherds of household pottery, stove tile fragments, glass shards from a bottle-vase, and clay pipe head was recorded.Two test pits (a total of about 9.72 m2) were excavated at Šv. Mikalojaus st. 15/Žemaitijos st. 8A. A severely destroyed 16th/17th–20th century, 2.4–3.17 m thick cultural layer was recorded. It was noticed that the ground’s surface had been raised at least four times. Sherds of household pottery, stove tile fragments, a heel plate, and a fragment of a pair of pivoted scissors were discovered during the evaluation. A 3.4 m2 test pit was excavated at Pilies st. 4 and a 1.65–1.70 m thick, 16th–21st century cultural layer was recorded. Early 16th–17th century unglazed, green glazed, and polychrome glazed panel (Blattkacheln) and ‘potshaped’ stove tile (Topfkacheln) fragments were discovered. Analogous tiles have been found in the Lower castle in Vilnius. 16th–17th century clay floor tile fragments, 16th–19th century household pottery fragments, and hand-forged nails were also found. Two test pits (about 8.6 m2) were excavated at Vilniaus st. 25. A 1.15–2.35 m thick cultural layer from the second half of the 16th-20th centuries had formed at this site. Part of it had been damaged by various 19th–20th century earthwork. Fragments of 17th–19th century household pottery, pantiles, panel and ‘pot-shaped’ stove tiles, shards of glass artefacts, and a glazed clay whistle from the second half of the 19th century were discovered during the evaluation. Two test pits (about 6.90 m2) were excavated at Žygimantų st. 10, 11, 11A and 16th-20th century cultural layer horizons were recorded. In the 16th early 17th century the area was sparsely developed and could have been used for non-intensive agrarian activities. In laying paving, the ground’s surface was raised several times. 17th–19th century household pottery and stove tile fragments were discovered.
