From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An archaeological artifact is any item that has been made or modified by past human cultures. These Egyptian artifacts are common to Egypt, but are not exclusive, or only invented in Egypt.

Archaeologists give names to the artifacts that they find. These names may not always reflect the true purpose of the item and are sometimes deliberately vague.
