Artifacts.—Materials created, modified, or transported from their source by humans typically for a practical purpose in habitation, manufacturing, excavation, agriculture, or construction activities. Artifacts are a specific category of soil fragments defined for the purpose of identifying human transported material in soil descriptions and for classification. The presence of artifacts is a criterion used to identify anthropic and plaggen epipedons. It is also used for some human-altered and human transported material classes at the family level. In addition, some artifacts are included in consideration for skeletal particle-size classes. See human-transported material.
Figure 15.—Soil profile and landscape of Laguardia soil (loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive, nonacid, mesic Typic Udorthent). Laguardia soils are on nearly level to steeply sloping artificially created or modified landforms. These soils formed in construction debris intermingled and mixed with natural soil materials. The construction debris material commonly originates from the demolition of buildings and roads. The dominant coarse fragments in the construction debris are concrete, asphalt, bricks, coal ash, and steel with some sedimentary and metamorphic rocks sparsely intermingled. The transported soil material is dominantly from locally excavated upland materials such as alluvium, till, outwash, or coastal plain sediments.
The site at Pompeii has been undergoing almost continuous excavation since diggings began in 1748. Even today, archeologists and historians continually discover more artifacts and remnants of the people who once lived here. When the city was buried under 13-20 feet (4-6 meters) of heavy volcanic ash on 24 August 79, everything ceased, leaving a virtual snapshot of Pompeiian life. These artifacts are catalogued and stored onsite, but are visible to the visitor.

This intervention-exhibition presents artworks and installations across the galleries and public spaces of the McManus: Dundee’s Art Gallery & Museum, and the Mills Observatory. The works conjure up an image of future artifacts, questions ideas of what we leave behind and reveals the hidden material cultures of our technological age. The audience can choose to hunt for these artifacts or find them by chance; either way they will provide new conversations between museum objects and their audience.

My mother loves playing this domino game called Mexican Train and my older brother got her some little items that would represent each of us [her sons] while we played. Funnily enough, I got the dictionary
