Room 8 artefacts
An artifact is defined as something made or given shape by humans, such as a tool or work of art. Especially those of archaeological interest. It can also refer to anything man-made, such as experimental results. The word comes from the Latin phrase "arte factum" meaning made by skill or craft.
