Artifact Classification

Artifact classification is a process used to identify and categorize different types of artifacts—like tools, artwork, or objects—found in archaeological or cultural studies. It involves analyzing the characteristics, materials, and features of artifacts to determine their function, origin, and cultural significance. By classifying artifacts, researchers can better understand past societies, their technologies, and their interactions. This systematic organization helps historians and archaeologists interpret the context of findings and draw meaningful conclusions about human history.
