An artifact is an object that archaeologist find in their excavations and it is supposed to help them get a better understanding of the past. The location and the use that was given to the object can help archaeologist deduce many things about the life of a group of people who didn't leave any writing records behind

Artifacts are items that people used during their lives, long before history was written. Pottery, arrow heads and other tools made from bone, wood as well as stone leave an impression as to how these people lived. Rock art - painted or inscribed - can tell us about the symbols that they believed in.

Artifacts can be utilitarian materials, art or garments. Artifacts can tell modern scholars how ancient cultures lived in their day to day lives as well as what they believed.

An artifact is able to tell us about what people may have used in earlier times such as weapons, tools, utensils or even what they wore.
