Artifacts refer to anything modified by man or made by man, including tools, weapons and other material creation. Objects that are excavated may or may not be related to those found near them.

Ecofacts are natural objects, like plants and animals, that have been used, altered or affected by man, and which have left impressions that they were utilized.

Features are those that cannot be easily removed, like ash remains and even caves.
