Kapinės Vilniuje, Dainavos gatvėje 3, 5

LT2017–2018 m. Vilniuje, Dainavos g. 3 ir 5 sklypo ŠR dalyje atlikti žvalgymai, Dainavos g. 5 PV dalyje-žvalgomieji ir detalieji tyrimai. Jų metu ištirtas bendras 1560 m2 plotas, žvalgytas 5700 m2 plotas. 2006 m. į V nuo Dainavos g. 5 sklypo, A. Rotundo g. 4A teritorijoje žvalgomuosius tyrimus atliko R. Žukovskis. Bendras tada ištirtas plotas siekė 1787 m2 . Nuo paviršiaus iki 1–1,5 m gylio fiksuotas pilkos žemės, maišytos su statybinėmis ir buitinėmis XIX–XX a. šiukšlėmis, sluoksnis. Žemiau, smėlio ir priemolio sluoksnyje, išryškėjo kapų duobės. Ištirti 56 kapai, rasti 85 žmonių skeletai. Spėjama, kad XIX a. I pusėje čia galėjo būti choleros aukų kapinės, kuriose buvo palaidoti carinės Rusijos armijos karininkai ir kareiviai (LIIR, f. 1, b. 4720). [...]. [Iš teksto, p. 184-185]

ENDuring 2017–2018, a field survey (5700 m2 ), evaluation, and excavation (1560 m2 ) were conducted on the plots at Dainavos St. 3, 5, Vilnius. Worthless 20th-21st century fill or mixed layers were recorded to a depth of 1–1.7 m from the ground’s surface, natural soil being reached under them. Grave pits were discovered during the excavation in the SW part of the plot at Dainavos St. 5. Graves were found in the E, W, and S parts of the plot. Based on the arrangement of the graves in the investigated plot, it is possible to determine the cemetery’s N boundary, but its E and S boundaries may continue beyond the plot. In all, 65 graves were excavated on the plot. They contained a total of 111 individuals, the majority having been buried in coffins. Some of the graves had been disturbed during the laying of various underground utility lines and other earthwork. Soldiers and officers of the Imperial Russian Army were buried in the plot at Dainavos St. 5. No fatal injuries were identified during the anthropological analysis. The cause of death could have been a contagious disease epidemic, which is thought to have been cholera. [From the publication]
