artifact's

Historical item's characteristic

Artifact's is the possessive form of artifact—an object made by humans, especially one of historical or archaeological interest.

The possessive indicates belonging or association: the artifact's origin, the artifact's surface showed signs of wear.

In technical contexts, artifact refers to unintended byproducts of a process: the image artifact's cause was a faulty sensor.
