Žvalgymai ir žvalgomieji tyrimai Rytų ir Pietų Lietuvoje

LT2004 ir ankstesniais metais autorius savo iniciatyva vykdė archeologinius žvalgymus ir žvalgomuosius tyrimus Rytų ir Pietų Lietuvoje. Šių tyrimų metu pakoreguota kelių objektų teritorija bei aptikta daug naujų archeologijos vertybių, kurių nemaža dalis yra unikalūs mūsų krašto praeities liudytojai. Prie tokių unikalių vertybių galima priskirti po daugiau nei 100 metų intensyvių kasinėjimų Dubičių apylinkėse surastas pirmąsias durpynines gyvenvietes [p. 291].

ENIn 2004 archaeological survey of the Rėkučiai ancient settlement 3rd (Švenčionys district) was performed. A heavily disturbed cultural layer containing flint-stone finds was discovered. Besides that, in 2004 and previous years the author under his own initiative performed archaeological surveys and investigations in southern and eastern Lithuania. During those surveys territories of two ancient settlements were established much more precisely and 17 new archaeological sites were discovered: Sudotos 3, 4, Verbiškės 2, Pūgainiai 1, Rudnia-Titnas Lake 3 (flint mine), Dubičiai-Katra 1, 2, Dubičiai-Draciliškė 1, 2, Kajutis-Matarai 1-4 settlement (the 12th-2th millennium B. C.); the Dubičiai-Draciliškė 1, Kajutis-Matarai 1 Bronze-Iron Age settlement (the 1st millennium B. C. - the 14th century A. D.); the Dubičiai-Draciliškė hill-fort (the 6th-14th century). In several archaeological monuments were corrected their territory as well. These sites distinguishing with abundant archaeological materials make unique treasuries of our past which may provide inestimable scientific information, so their preservation must receive a special attention from the side of both the public and the state. Most of the newly discovered archaeological sites were found and their territories were established applying methods causing minimal archaeological destruction as well as using data provided by the relevant sciences (palaeogeography, geomorphology, botany, and soil research).
