Random late reply: I love the word artefact. To me it's anything that remains IRL after something is implemented from design. Like magic items typically complete artefacts because they are so good at "remaining". But more typically an artefact is something that that is incomplete (from the sense of the original design). Like a fossil is an artefact where nothing is actually left but the negative of a design. Digital artefacts are problematic because they don't have very good "remain" durability. Like a cdrom or a disk drive is not very durable. So if you recover one in 100 years you might not get much. Or you can imagine how fractured and incomplete what you get could be.
