Abstract (in English)

We live at the time of the growing globalization, which tends to cover and unify traditional values, culture of different nations. One of the main questions is, whether the mankind may let the perishing of these cultures. It was not always a question earlier. The people of the 20th century can be proud that he was the first in the history who have paid special attention to it. Speaking about archaeological heritage it must be mentioned that often human activity has increased their number instead of letting them to exist in their original form. Regrettable enough that again the people of the 20th century went into such crimes which have awoken the responsibility. A welcome development of today’s politics is the growing attention paid to the valuable heritage of our predecessors, and the remnants of their cultural traditions. It is not only for the sake of the material culture, but to preserve it as human resources for the present and for the future. The cultural heritage is not only a mere decoration for tourists but an organic part of our life. It is used through many ways, so the movable and non movable heritage together with its spiritual essence is integrated into our culture. The cultural, scientific and social knowledge of earlier generations were always built into the structure of the newer generations at first through oral tradition, later through written media, all that having been merged into the new possibilities of information technology.
