[[File:Artifact tile.gif|thumb|An [[Artifact Spot]]]]
'''Artifacts''' are found items that can be donated to the [[Museum]] for display or sold, though these items tend to sell for very little gold.
{{TOC right|npt=y}}
:''For an index to the completed artifacts collection, see [[Collections#Artifacts]].''
'''Artifacts''' are items found primarily by digging up [[Artifact Spot]]s, though they can be acquired in other ways. There are 42 artifacts in total, and one of each must be donated to the [[Museum]] to complete its collection. Donating to the [[Museum]] will yield rewards when donation milestones are reached, or when specific artifacts are donated.
Artifacts aside from the Ancient Seed are not used for [[Crafting]] or requested by [[Villagers]] for quests.
==Acquisition==
Artifacts can be acquired in the following ways:
*Using the [[Hoes|Hoe]] on an [[Artifact Spot]]. Different parts of the map will produce different artifacts. Artifact Spots are much more common in [[winter]].
*Using the [[Hoes|Hoe]] on dirt in [[The Mines]] and the [[Skull Cavern]].
*Killing [[Monsters]].
*Solving [[Secret Notes]].
*Breaking open [[Artifact Trove]]s.
*Breaking open [[Geode]]s, [[Frozen Geode]]s, [[Magma Geode]]s, and [[Omni Geode]]s.
*[[Fishing]] for treasure chests.
*Breaking [[Mining#Bone Node|Bone Nodes]].
The table below lists specific locations for each artifact.
==Use==
All artifacts can be used for:
*Donation to the museum
*Gifting to [[Penny]] and the [[Dwarf]] as liked gifts
*[[Tailoring]] at a [[Sewing Machine]]
Some artifacts have other specific uses:
*[[Dwarf Scroll I]], [[Dwarf Scroll II]], [[Dwarf Scroll III]], [[Dried Starfish]], and [[Golden Relic]] may be required for some [[Fish Pond#Quests|Fish Pond quests]].
*[[Ancient Seed]] may be [[Crafting|crafted]] into a plantable [[Ancient Seeds]] pack after one is donated to the museum.
*[[Dinosaur Egg]] may be used to hatch a [[Dinosaur]] in an [[Incubator]] or turned into [[Dinosaur Mayonnaise]].
*Prehistoric or fossilized artifacts may be processed in the [[Bone Mill]] to obtain [[Fertilizer]].
*[[Ancient Doll]] is an option for the {{Bundle|Children's||y}}.
*[[Dwarf Gadget]] is required to craft the [[Farm Computer]].
===Donation===
*Using the [[Hoe]] on areas of the ground with 'dancing sticks' or 'worms'. These marked areas will reward different artifacts depending on their location, these locations also change drastically during Winter and are now much easier to spot.
Donating the following artifacts grant unique rewards:
*Using a [[Hoe]] on dirt located within [[The Mines]] ([[Skull Cavern]] Dirt Patches unconfirmed).
*Donating an [[Ancient Seed]] rewards the player with an Ancient Seed crafting recipe and 1 Ancient Seeds pack, which can then be planted to harvest [[Ancient Fruit]].
*Killing Monsters.
*Donating all four Dwarf Scrolls unlocks the [[Dwarvish Translation Guide]], allowing the ability to speak to the [[Dwarf]] merchant in [[The Mines|the Mines]] and in the [[Volcano Dungeon]].
*[[Fishing]] for treasure chests.
*Donating the [[Ancient Drum]], along with at least 2 other artifacts, rewards the player with a [[Drum Block]].
*Donating the [[Bone Flute]], along with at least 2 other artifacts, rewards the player with a [[Flute Block]].
*Donating the [[Chicken Statue]], along with at least 4 other artifacts, rewards the player with a [[Chicken Statue (furniture)|Chicken Statue furniture]] item.
*Donating the prehistoric bone pieces rewards the player with the [[Sloth Skeleton]] furniture pieces.
*Donating the [[Rare Disc]] and [[Dwarf Gadget]], along with at least 9 other artifacts, rewards the player with the [['Burnt Offering']] painting.
==Artifacts==
Map regions specified under "Location" are places where the artifact can be found when digging up an [[Artifact Spot]], along with the chance per artifact spot of finding the artifact<ref name="artifact_chance" />.

* Reading [[Treasure Appraisal Guide]] will get the player better prices when selling artifacts, tripling the base price.

<ref name="artifact_chance">The contents of an artifact spot are calculated by <samp>GameLocation::digUpArtifactSpot</samp>; the primary data source is <samp>ObjectInformation.xnb</samp>. 20% of the time a Lost Book is found (except on the Farm). Otherwise, each artifact is checked sequentially to see whether a random number is less than the chance specified by the input file; the first artifact that succeeds is the one found. One result of this algorithm is that the actual chance of finding a given artifact is smaller than the value in the input file, because it can only be found if the Lost Book check failed and all previous artifacts failed their tests.</ref>
<ref name="artifact_extra">The additional chance for this artifact is season-dependent. The maximum chance is in summer and fall. In winter, the chance is 50% less; in spring it is 6% less. The chance comes from a secondary input file, <samp>Locations.xnb</samp>, which is only used if all other sources fail.</ref>
<ref name="treasure_artifact">The chance of an artifact appearing in a treasure chest is higher if [[Lost Books]] are not possible, ''e.g.,'' after the Museum's collection is complete.</ref>
