Definition of artefact
n.
1821, artefact, "anything made by human art," from Italian artefatto, from Latin arte "by skill" (ablative of ars "art;" see art (n.)) + factum "thing made," from facere "to make, do" (see factitious ). The spelling with -i- is by 1884, by influence of the Latin stem. Archaeological application dates from 1890. Here
