Detailed explanation-1: -When you use artifacts as primary sources, you’ve added material culture to your research. Artifacts can be an important complement to text-based primary sources because they provide a concrete, tangible dimension to your evidence. An artifact remains almost meaningless, however, when taken out of context.
Detailed explanation-2: -Natural objects, which can be deployed to serve human purposes, would exist regardless of human intentions or practices. (3) Artifacts (and not natural objects) essentially have intended proper functions, bestowed on them by beings with beliefs, desires, and intentions.
