What is an Artifact?

• An artifact is an object made by a human,
  typically an item of cultural or historical
  interest.

Our Artifact Project

• Since you have been researching the Indus Valley
  culture, you will now be creating your own
  artifacts.
• You will be creating artifacts to represent the
  information you discovered about the Indus Valley
  River Civilization.

• The artifacts you make DO NOT have to be actual
  Indus Valley artifacts.
• For example, just because the Indus River IS NOT
  considered an artifact, you are still permitted
  to create your own artifact of this physical
  feature or others like it.
• However, you can also create your own artifacts
  of actual Indus Valley artifacts.
