The writing about artifacts, shared by Stanford University, defines the meaning of artifact in different areas. However, in general sense the idea of artifact is, an object which is created in order support and improve human and animal lives. According to reading artifacts might be defined as the products has intentionally made for some purpose. Also an artifact has to have an author / maker. An artifact with multiple authors or makers can be called as “collectively produced artifacts”. Even animals use artifacts in order to support and improve their lives. This is the part of the reading I am considering as the main meaning of artifact in my field.

” The art of making something involves intentional agency; thus an artifact may be defined as an object that has been intentionally made for some purpose. “

Which if an artifact is expected as a project. The artifact has to serve a purpose, in a bigger circle.
