Šv. Gertrūdos gatvė 51A

LT2016 m. liepos–lapkričio mėnesiais UAB "Teisinga orbita" atliko detaliuosius tyrimus Kauno senamiesčio (UK 20171) teritorijoje, senamiesčio 42 kvartale, sklype Šv. Gertrūdos g. 51A, būsimo namo statybos vietoje. Iki projektinio gylio ar iki įžemio ištirtas 1063 m2 dydžio plotas, atlikti žvalgymai sukaltų polių vietose apie 130 m2 dydžio teritorijoje, iki projektinio gylio iškasta 14 m2 dydžio tranšėja, skirta komunikacijų perkėlimui gretimame sklype Šv. Gertrūdos g. 51. Bendrai tyrinėtas apie 1200 m2 dydžio plotas. Tiriant nustatyta, kad ankstyviausias kultūrinis sluoksnis sklype galėjo susidaryti XVI a. pradžioje. Greičiausiai šiuo laikotarpiu atsirado mediniai statiniai, kurie neužfiksuoti, nes galėjo suirti arba dėl to, kad didesnė sklypo dalis nebuvo ištirta iki įžemio, paliekant iki 1 m storio apatinį horizontą neliestą. XVI a. pabaigoje-XVII a. pradžioje sklypo P dalyje pastatytas svirnas su mūriniu rūsiu ir medine antžemine dalimi, taip pat gyvenamieji bei gamybiniai pastatai. [...]. [Iš teksto, p. 275, 286]

ENIn 2016, an excavation and survey (totalling roughly 1200 m2 ) were conducted at the construction site of a future house on the plot at Šv. Gertrūdos St. 51A. During the investigation, it was determined that the earliest cultural layer on the plot could have formed in the early 16th century, which was confirmed by coins and potsherds from that time. In the late 16th early 17th century, a granary (with a masonry cellar and a wooden superstructure), a residence, and production buildings were erected in the S part of the plot. The courtyard between the structures was covered with pavement that included gutters that drained to the S and E. One of the buildings contained habitable rooms and a shop selling meat. A bone workshop also operated in that and neighbouring buildings, which the discovered finds attest to: a meat axe with a smith’s mark, hooks, a balance beam from a scale, 148 kg of animal bones, a significant number of which bear signs of chopping and cutting, up to a hundred diverse bone blanks, and tens of coins, mostly John II Casimir (1648–1668) shillings. A fire, which destroyed most or all of the buildings, probably occurred in the 1660s or 1670s and the plot lay abandoned for some time. Soon, at the very end of the 17th century or early 18th century the plot was again inhabited. Several buildings, one of which housed a non-ferrous metal workshop, related tools and production waste having been discovered inside and outside it, appear about 40 cm above the previous buildings on the plot. Like before, the area was paved, including with gutters draining in the same directions. Owing to a fire, the plot was again vacant for some time in the late 18th century, but new structures reappeared fairly quickly.1505 finds, the majority of which date to the 17th–18th centuries were given to the KMM. Early 2nd millennium ornaments, which could have found their way to the plot from some nearby ancient settlement or cemetery, were also discovered. [From the publication]
