**Social Artifact**

A social artifact is any object, symbol, or item created, used, or valued by a particular society or culture that holds social significance. These artifacts provide insight into the beliefs, practices, norms, and historical context of a community. Examples include tools, clothing, artworks, documents, or even digital media that reflect social behaviors and cultural identities. Understanding social artifacts helps us explore how human societies communicate values, transmit knowledge, and maintain social cohesion across generations.
