LT2005 ir ankstesniais metais straipsnio autorius savo iniciatyva vykdė archeologinius žvalgymus ir žvalgomuosius tyrimus Rytų ir Pietų Lietuvoje. Šių tyrimų metu pakoreguotos kelių objektų teritorijos bei aptikta daug naujų archeologinių vertybių, kurių nemaža dalis yra unikalūs mūsų krąšto praeities liudytojai. Žemiau pateikiami detalesni tyrinėtų objektų aprašymai. Taip pat 2005 m. buvo atlikti žvalgomieji tyrimai Verbiškių 1 akmens amžiaus gyvenvietės aplinkoje. Daugelis šių naujai surastų archeologinių vertybių aptikta ir jų teritorijos nustatytos taikant kuo mažesnius destrukcinius archeologinius tyrimus bei pasitelkiant gretutinių mokslų (paleogeografijos, geomorfologijos, botanikos, dirvožemio tyrimų) teikiamus duomenis [p. 384].
ENIn 2005 archaeological survey of the vicinity of the Verbiškés ancient settlement 1 (Vilnius district) was performed. After that the territory of the settlement was extended eastwards, as a heavily disturbed cultural layer containing flint-stone finds was discovered. Besides that, in 2005 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. They included 16 ancient settlements dating to the Stone Age and later periods and 1 barrow cemetery. Out of them 3 sites were eхclusive: the archaeological finds discovered there supplemented earlier finds comprising huge and unique archaeological complexes. These were the Stone Age settlements (8 sites) located on the banks and islands of the Žalesa marsh; ancient settlements and hillforts of the vicinities of Dubičiai (22 sites) conjugating with the adjacent archaeological sites of the Karaviškės, Paramėlis, Margiai and Gribaša, and finally the Rudnia and the Titnas lake complex of flint-stone mines, processing sites and ancient settlements (4 sites).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).
