A cultural artifact is a human-made object which gives information about the culture of its creator and users. The artifact may change over time in what it represents, how it appears and how and why it is used as the culture changes over time. Usage of this term encompasses the type of archaeological artifact which is recovered at archaeological sites; however, current objects of modern society are also cultural artifacts. For example, in an anthropological context, a television is an artifact of modern culture.
