Artifacts are objects included in the Thaumecraft 2 mod that serve little purpose but research. They can be researched for discoveries and new technology. They are found occasionally from monster drops and also in battle towers and the room under the Eldritch Monolith. Some are much more common then others like the human skull for example. Some are rarer like the ancient seal.
Obtaining
Common artifacts from the Lost and Forbidden catagories are drops from monsters, but can also be found inside of naturally spawning chests.
Tainted Artifacts can be obtained from mobs, plants, and an Eldritch Tree inside a natural tainted zone
Eldritch Artifacts can be obtained inside Eldritch Monolith
You can get almost all other artifacts with Relic Hunter Enchantment
Exceptional Artifacts can be obtained only from naturally generated chests, such as those inside mineshafts, dungeons, and villages.

Research
Their soul purpose is research. To research you need a Quaesitum to reasearch it. You can research anything, but Artifacts give far greater chance of a breakthrough than normal items. When researched it gives infromation that you can use for your own purposes. See Research for more info on that.
Other Uses
The only other use of Artifacts are aesthetic purposes.
