Abstract
The tasks of research of cave temples and monasteries include the analysis of the condition of the studied objects and the adjacent natural and anthropogenic landscape.
 The article discusses the scientific methods by which it is necessary to conduct archaeological research in accordance with the established procedure at the stages of pre-project analysis, design, as well as any construction and repair and economic activities on the territory of the location of objects of archeology and cultural heritage. In order to conduct a comprehensive analysis of cave monasteries and compare their characteristics, criteria for assessing their condition have been developed. The procedure for conducting archaeological research according to approved scientific methods in the process of pre-project surveys, design, reconstruction, any construction and economic activity is given. The optimal non-destructive research methods are named, which are aimed at collecting scientific information without destroying the object of research itself, and their advantages are revealed. The method of laser scanning of caves is described as an inseparable and promising part of engineering geodesy in the field of architecture, construction and historical and cultural heritage. An example of its approbation is given, on which the advantages of this method are revealed. Analysis and structuring of research methods and their advantages ensures the greatest safety of the object under study during rescue archaeological field work.
