In that case the society receives a certain degree interpretation of a archelogical object. Complexity of representation process comes from numerous groups of people participating in it (political, administrative, economic sectors representatives, various specialists and contractors, the community of the city, other middlemen). Those groups influence the final outcome of the process and establish the main values of heritage. Examples of archelogical heritage representation in Lithuania can be seen in six cities (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Kėdainiai, Biržai and Trakai). There are total 33 objects being represented, which is only 1,8% of all researched objects. The basis off Lithuanian city archeological heritage representation is the conservation of archeological relics in situ without continuing the functionality of original purpose. This is the most popular method of archeological representation which is widely used in all of Europe.

The first attempts to represent archelogical heritage in 1951 – 1971. The representation of city archeological heritage in 1972 – 1990 .
