Tyrinėjimai Pranciškonų gatvėje 4

LT2009 m. birželio – 2010 m. kovo mėnesiais APC „Antiqua“ atliko archeologinius tyrinėjimus Vilniaus senamiestyje su priemiesčiais (unikalus objekto kodas Kultūros vertybių registre – 25504), vienuolyno gyvenamajame pastate Pranciškonų gatvėje 4. 2009 m. birželio mėn. atlikus pirminę rekonstruojamo pastato apžiūrą, konstatuota, jog pirmojo aukšto patalpose prie pamatų yra iškastos tranšėjos ir šurfai. Žemės kasimo darbai vykdyti be KPD išduoto leidimo. Kas, kada ir kokiu tikslu vykdė šiuos kasinėjimus, nenustatyta. Archeologinių žvalgymų metu užfiksuota tokia situacija: nuvalyti atkasti pamatai ir tranšėjų sienelės, atlikta fotofiksacija, matavimai, surinkti vertingesni žemių krūvose ir ant palangių sumesti archeologiniai radiniai. Žvalgytos patalpos, iš V į R numeruotos raidėmis A–F. Nusprendus į Š esančiose patalpose (D–F) vienuolyno reikmėms įrenginėti rūsio patalpas, buvo atlikti archeologiniai žvalgomieji tyrinėjimai – iškasti du 2 x 2,3 m ir 3 x 1,5 m dydžio šurfai, ištirtas apie 9 m2 plotas. Atlikus žvalgomuosius archeologinius tyrinėjimus, 2009 m. spalio – 2010 m. kovo mėn. vykdyti išsamūsi archeologiniai tyrinėjimai, ištirtas apie 80 m2 plotas [p. 394].

ENExcavations were conducted inside the building at Pranciškonų Street 4 in 2009–2010. A field survey, during which it was determined that trenches and test pits had been excavated near the foundations in the surveyed premises, was conducted during the first stage of the work. This earth work had been conducted without KPD permission. Who, when, and for what purpose these excavations had been conducted were not determined. The existing situation was recorded during the survey: the unearthed foundations and trench walls were cleaned, photo recording was conducted, measurements taken, and the more valuable archaeological finds collected. A field evaluation was conducted during the second work stage. During it two test pits (about 9 m2) were excavated. Fragments of ordinary and arched masonry walls were recorded in test pit 1, a fragment of a small oven dating to the 19th century and a fragment of an oven pad dating to the 18th century (?) in test pit 2. A total area of about 80 m2 was excavated in a full excavation. Two cylindrical ovens, the purpose of which was not completely determined, were discovered beside each other at a depth of about 10 cm in the SE corner of the premises. Two 17th-century masonry structures and two paving fragments were also unearthed. A storage pit dating to the 16th–17th century (?) was recorded in the central part of the premises. A cultural layer up to 3 m thick that was formed in the 16th–20th centuries was recorded during the excavation. The earliest undisturbed cultural layer horizon dates to the 16th century.
