Artefact Type	Category 10: Unclassifiable Artefacts	Artefact Remnant	A segment or incomplete part of an artefact originally created to fulfil a purpose that cannot be determined or inferred from the fragment.	69
Artefact Type	Category 10: Unclassifiable Artefacts	Function Unknown	An artefact originally created to serve an unknown purpose	31
Artefact Type	Category 10: Unclassifiable Artefacts	Multiple Use Artefact	An artefact originally created to serve a variety of purposes that extend beyond the range of one classification. Tools that have multiple attachments that enable them to serve a range of functions fall into this classification, along with hybrid tools that are made of several disparate parts that are used together to perform a particular function, such as mending fences.	196
Artefact Type	Category 10: Unclassifiable Artefacts	Unclassifiable Artefacts	Artefacts created to serve a purpose that cannot be identified at the time the object is catalogued.	16
Artefact Type	Category 1: Structures	Building	An artefact originally created primarily to provide or define a space with a controllable climate - usually through enclosure - for human activities. This classification may include permanent structures, such as garages or office buildings, or portable structures, such as tents. This classification includes most man-made structures. Houses, barns, warehouses, train stations, and jails are all primarily intended to provide spaces that can be kept warm or cool and dry. Architectural samples integral to buildings, such as wall sections or roof sections should be catalogued in this classification as parts of buildings. Separable, distinct and interchangeable components, such as doorknobs or window sashes, should be classified as "Building Components."	89
Artefact Type	Category 1: Structures	Building Component	An artefact originally created as a separate, distinct and generally interchangeable structural or decorative part of a building (though such artefacts - hinges, for example, - can be used in artefacts besides buildings, such as gates or tables). Though building components are distinct objects, they function as parts of larger structures rather than as independent units. This classification includes such things as mantels and window frames. Excluded from this classification are parts of buildings or other structures that lack distinctiveness or interchangeability, such as roofs, chimneys, or joists. Also excluded from this classification are parts of buildings that are not integral parts of the structure, such as furnishings, lighting devices, and plumbing fixtures , all of which are listed in the Furnishings category.	265

Artefact Type	Category 1: Structures	OTHER STRUCTURE	An artefact originally created primarily to modify the environment or landscape or to define a space for some reason besides climate control. This classification includes dams, mines, and bridges. Structures, such as sports complexes that are primarily intended to provide controlled access and convenient seating should be placed in this classification.
