Archaeological heritage is finite, non-renewable resource of human past. The most important stage of this heritage protection and use for public benefit is its recording. The objective of this master study is to reveal and evaluate immovable archaeological heritage recording process and its results in heritage protection of Lithuania. The core components of immovable archaeological heritage recording are inventorization, evaluation and registration. In heritage protection of Lithuania recording process of archaeological objects were initiated at the earliest comparing with other immovable cultural heritage ranges. Despite the fact that in the period of 1918-1940 there were no juridical base regulating cultural heritage recording, during 1934-1936 there were accomplished the inventorization of majority known archaeological objects. The first registers of archaeological objects were compiles in soviet Lithuania also there were established the institution specialized in cultural heritage recording, but due to geopolitical reasons there were no possibilities to practice or develop methods of identification which were broadly used in the West archaeology (for example aerophotography). However another factors, such as land property form, were favourable for expanding archaeological survey expeditions. Moreover this cultural heritage sphere was at least influenced by ideology. Juridical base for heritage protection recording finally was formed during 1990 – 2008, but since 1995 its alternation determined that labour of archaeological heritage recording was undiverted to preparing new documentation of recording forms, because of this reason new archeological survey expeditions declined. Also opportunities of new identification techniques are not enough availed, even since 1994 GIS and GPS are used for inventorization. All above mentioned conditions determined that recording process of archaeological objects is the best arranged sphere comparing with other cultural heritage categories.
