Virš II oficinos R ir V sienų (iki sienų viršaus) buvo ištirti du 1,5 x 2 m² dydžio, 1,2–1,3 m gylio šurfai [p. 187-188].

ENDuring the 2006 evaluation conducted in the approach to officina II of Vilnius Lower Castle a total area of 41 m² was excavated. The E and W walls of officina II were unearthed in two test pits (1 and 2), but the sought-for partition wall was not found. A trench alongside the outside of the E wall of officina II was excavated down to the projected depth needed for the rainwater drainage channel (about Habs 89.80 m in the S part of the trench and down to about Habs 91.60–91.00 in the remaining area); therefore sterile soil was not reached. The main horizons of the cultural layer discovered during the evaluation reflect different historical periods: the layer of 18th–21st century construction rubble that has been mixed several times is connected with landscape work during various periods; stone paving from the courtyard (stone paving I) from the first half of the 17th-century was laid near the building’s masonry wall; and stone paving from a road (stone paving II / road?) is from the 16th century. Seven levels of remains from uncertain wooden constructions were also recorded and conditionally called wooden building levels (wooden building levels I–VII). The excavated wooden building levels date to approximately the mid-15th – first half of the 16th century. A 17th-century rapier, leather artefacts, a fragment of a 15th-century stove tile, and a triangular padlock should be mentioned among the rarer and more interesting finds.
