	Artifact (archaeology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Artifacts are distinguished from features, which are nonportable remains of human activity, such as hearths, roads, or house remains, and from biofacts (also called ecofacts), which are objects of archaeological interest made by other organisms, such as seeds or animal bone.
		These distinctions are often blurred; for instance, a bone removed from an animal carcass is a biofact, but a bone carved into a useful implement is an artifact.
		Similarly there can be debate over early stone objects which may be crude artefacts or which may be naturally occurring phenomena that only appear to have been used by humans.

		The term biofact, a neologism comprised of “bios” and “artifact,” refers to a being that is both natural and artificial.
		By contrast, biofact is a neutral term that can express a wide spectrum from natural living entities to technical artifacts.
		Phenomenologically, biofacts are living beings since they grow, but their growth and development are no longer self-determined.

		These distinctions are often blurred; for instance, a bone removed from an animal carcass is a biofact, but a bone carved into a useful implement is an artifact.
		Similarly, a bone that is carried on someone’s belt has a different ontological status than a similar bone in the waste heap; it is stuff rather than the shit (literally) of the midden.
