Tyrimai Jonavos, Šauklių ir Šv. Gertrūdos gatvėse

LT2021 m. Kaune, Kauno senamiesčio teritorijoje (UK 20171), Jonavos ir Šv. Gertrūdos gatvėse suplanavus pakloti naujus lietaus nuotekų tinklus, nemaža dalis darbų atlikta be archeologinių tyrimų. Atliktų žvalgomųjų tyrimų metu ištirta 15 šurfų, iš viso 62 m2 plotas. Žvalgyta viena iškasta 38 m2 ploto tranšėja. Detaliųjų tyrimų metu ištirta 11 perkasų, iš viso ištirtas 105 m2 plotas, iš kurio 17 m2 sudarė žvalgomųjų tyrimų metu ištirti šurfai. Iš viso 2021 m. ištirtas 188 m2 plotas. Remiantis 1714 m. istoriniu planu, Pilies žiedo aplinkoje vykdyti tyrimai patenka į jame žymimą XVIII a. buvusią Neries vagą. 1850 m. plane išsiskiria jau susiformavusi Šv. Gertrūdos gatvė ir apgyvendinta teritorija, esanti dabartinio žiedo PR dalyje. [...]. [Iš teksto, p. 302]

ENThe 2021 excavation of 188 m2 on Jonavos and Šv. Gertrūdos Streets in Kaunas Old Town yielded 19th–20th-century layers, at least 4.05–5.1 m thick and containing isolated 17th–18th-century finds in Test Pits 1–3; fragments of a building foundation, a floor, and the fence between the plots that date to the second half of the 19th century and the 1900s – 1920s in Test Pit 4; a 35–100 cm thick archaeological layer containing 16th–18th-century finds: sherds of pottery, plates, and stove tiles as well as other items from a depth of 1.15–1.5 m in Test Pits 5, 6, 9, and 10; a 17th–18th-century layer from a depth of 1.9–2.55 m in Test Pits 7–8; a masonry structure which likely belonged to the foundation of the wooden building, portrayed in the 1796 plan, in Test Pit 5; sterile soil at a depth of 2–3.45 m in aforementioned Test Pits 5–8, and 10; and poorer layers with fewer finds in Test Pits 11–14 as well as 17th–18th-century layers with a different structure and a thickness of at least 40–60 cm from a depth of 1.5–3.1 m. Thorn apple, black nightshade, white goosefoot, buckwheat, and sedge were distinguished in the two samples taken for archaeobotanical analysis from this last layer in Test Pits 12 and 13. A partially destroyed 20th-century foundation and paving were found in Test Pit 15. Sterile soil was reached at a depth of 1.3–5.05 m in the test pits. A fragmentally surviving 17th–18th-century layer was found at places in Trenches 1, 3, and 5 from a depth of 1.15–1.5 m to the planned depth of 1.65–1.7 m. White goosefoot led in respect to quantity in the soil sample from this layer (in Trench 5).The foundation of a wooden building marked in the 1796 plan was discovered in Trench 1. 10–70 cm thick, 18th–19th-century layers in places occurred in Trenches 2, 4, and 6–11 from a depth of 1.1–1.6 m to the planned depth of 1.65–2.4 m. Sedges predominated in the soil sample from this layer (in Trench 4). Trench 4 yielded the remains of a mid-19th-century, masonry interior partition, Trench 9 a fragment of a foundation laid prior to the late 18th century. [From the publication]
