An Artefact (also Artifact in American English) is an archaeological item of certain value or power. Lara's main focus in the games, movies or comics is often on an artefact that, when in the wrong hands, could be misused and cause a disaster.

In some of the games Lara has to use the Crowbar to get an artefact out of a receptacle.
