Archaeological Data from the Territory of the Architectural Ensemble of Vilnius University: A Contribution to the History of Vilnius City and Vilnius University

Archaeological research spanning over six decades at Vilnius University's architectural ensemble has revealed critical insights into the transformation of Vilnius' old town from its earliest settlement phases to its current status as a leading academic institution. The study, which systematically analyzed cultural layers and their distribution across the university complex, identified remnants of one of the city's first cemeteries, providing a unique window into Vilnius' layered history. By integrating archaeological data with historical, architectural, and legislative research, the findings offer a comprehensive narrative of urban development and institutional evolution in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. This work addresses a significant gap in academic literature by placing archaeological evidence at the forefront of historical narratives about Vilnius University.
