Summary/Abstract: The presence of Anthropocene in archaeological debates leads to anticipation of heritage’s future. Theoretical archaeologists emphasize that in the near future advanced climate changes will force people to migrate with their cultural belongings. The future of heritage will be thus digitization, that shapes the current image of archaeology as a scientific practice of restoring and reviving, nowadays motivated by damages caused by political as well as natural turmoils. Digital representations will be appraised in future, because they will stand as remedies for the progressing ruination and degradation of culture and nature. Those digital monuments are of nomadic character – they are mobile, transferable, non-fixed. This article introduces a category of „nomadic heritage” as a form of future heritage, generated by anthropogenic changes and critical approach towards digitization of heritage.
