Scientific reconstruction of three yards of townspeople who lived at the valley, under Kernavė mounds, in Pajauta valley. Archaeological excavations in the wet cultural layer have found the remains of well-preserved wooden buildings and fences, and a large number of organic artefacts made of wood, leather, horn provided lots of valuable information about the living environment, life and crafts of the townspeople of that time. Research data revealed that even several generations of jewelers, blacksmiths and hornworkers lived in these courtyards in the Middle Ages and practiced hereditary crafts. You can see their artefacts and tools in the exposition of the Kernavė Archaeological Site Museum.

Medieval Kernavė is a city of wooden buildings, where a community of craftsmen, merchants and soldiers flourished. 13th – 14th c. the city covered an area of ​​about 40 ha, had a well-established mound defense system, a network of courtyards and streets. The courtyards were separated from the street and the neighbors by vertical boards and logs or a fence braided from branches. They housed one residential building and several industrial and economic buildings. The buildings were wooden structures covered with plank roofs. Slab floors and clay ovens used for heating and cooking were found in residential houses and craftsmen's workshops. Softwood was used for all construction work. Expensive wrought iron details were used little in the wooden architecture of the time, built without nails. 

13th – 14th c. Kernavė was an important political, administrative and economic center of Lithuania. The restored fragment of Kernavė at that time is an attempt to reconstruct the living environment of the early urban community.
