ENIn 2009, UKM conducted an investigation during the reconstruction of Gedimino Street (Utena). A 4 m2 test pit was excavated at the traffic light installation site. A grey cultural layer began at a depth of 1.64–1.95 m under the pavement, road surface, and sand fill layers. Due to hindering water and collapsing walls, it was only excavated down to 2.2 m. After the excavation of the test pit, an 86 m x 50 cm x 70 cm electric cable trench (43.5 m2) was surveyed. In a 24.75 m2 area under the pavement, road surface, and sand fill layers, a grey or black cultural layer, the upper part of which was excavated up to a thickness of 20 cm, was discovered. In 9 m2, no cultural layer was reached, and in 8 m2 it had been destroyed. Six trenches (a total of 184.7 m2) were excavated at the site of the water – sewer line trenches. In 179.3 m2 a grey or black cultural layer was found. Its least thickness was 30 cm. The greatest thickness of the cultural layer was not clear since sterile soil was not reached everywhere. In 6.5 m2 no cultural layer existed and in 4.4 m2 it had been destroyed by digging. The cultural layer contained animal bones, sherds of thrown ceramics, glass shards, iron artefacts, a wooden bung from a barrel, and a bone net needle. The finds are characteristic of the late 19th – early 20th century.
