archaeological artifacts
Excavated historical objects
Archaeological artifacts are objects made or modified by humans that are recovered through excavation or discovery at sites of historical significance.
The term encompasses everything from stone tools and pottery shards to jewelry and weapons—physical evidence of past cultures and civilizations.
The museum's collection of archaeological artifacts spans three millennia.
Unlike natural remains, artifacts reveal human intention and craftsmanship, making them central to understanding how ancient peoples lived, worked, and expressed themselves.
