Answer :

False. Artifacts are strictly things that have been modified by human action.

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In archeology that focuses on the study of cultures, the word "artifact" refers to any object including vases, clothing, jewelry, tools, among others that were created and used by humans and that usually provide information about culture and past. This means artifacts are objects that were manipulated and made by the human. On the other hand, natural objects of the past such as rocks or fossil of plants and animals are classified as biofacts or ecofacts because even though these are also related to the past they were not created by humans and therefore cannot be artifacts. This implies it is false a fossilized plan is an example of an artifact as only human-made objects are considered as artifacts.
