For what it's worth:
I only use the term 'artifact' to refer to archaeological objects,
although any object made, or modified, by humans can be
technically/correctly classified as an 'artifact'. I use the term
'artifact' to distinguish between cultural materials collected from an
archaeological context versus those collected in a historic,
ethnographic, or contemporary context.
I refer to all materials in a museum's collection as 'objects',
including art, clothing, jewelry, rocks, bones, minerals, insects,
plants, etc.
