What is an ancient artifact?
The word artifact has a very broad definition. Simply put, an artifact is an object made by people anywhere and at any time. Clothes, ironmongery, art and more are all artifacts by definition. Ancient artifacts, of course, focus on things made hundreds if not thousands of years ago that give us an idea of the culture and practices of different areas in the past. Things as simple as broken glassware and worn down jewellery help us piece together the history of class divide, societal expectations and much more.
