An artifact or artefact (British English) is a common word for an item created or shaped by humans, such as a tool or a piece of art, especially one that is important to archaeologists. In archaeology, the word has a special meaning: it refers to an object found during archaeological work, including cultural artifacts that are of interest to people studying history and culture. The word “artefact” is often used in archaeology, while museums usually call such items “objects,” and art history may use terms like “artwork” or “carving.” The same item might be called any of these names depending on the situation, and more specific names are used when discussing individual items or groups of similar items.
