A cultural artifact is a human-made 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. The usage of the term encompasses the type of
archaeological artifact which is recovered at
archaeological sites; however, man-made objects of modern society are also cultural artifacts. For example, in an anthropological context, a
television is an artifact of modern culture.
