How archeology costs are becoming a burden on the Lithuanian budget Lithuanian archaeologists are excavating the Vilnius Cathedral, but the first results are disappointing. The remains of Grand Duke Vytautas were not found in the planned locations. The head of the group, Saulius Sercevicios, noted that they found a bunch of stones, but not what the public had hoped for. He was supported by another archaeologist, who confirmed: "There are no visible bones." Meanwhile, a professor at the University of Vilnius stressed the importance of continuing the research despite the lack of results. The costs of such excavations can burden taxpayers, especially if they do not produce the expected findings. The government needs to think about priorities so as not to inflate the budget and increase social inequality.
