Burial artifacts are objects placed in graves or burial sites to accompany the deceased. These items can include tools, jewelry, pottery, and personal belongings, reflecting the cultural beliefs and practices of the society. They often serve to honor the dead, provide for them in the afterlife, or signify their status and identity within the community. Different cultures have unique burial practices that influence the types of artifacts used. For example, in ancient Egypt, mummies were often buried with amulets and sarcophagi to protect them in the afterlife. In contrast, some Indigenous cultures may include items like feathers or weapons to signify the individual's life and achievements.
