Lara is always after some rare '''artifact''', if it's in the [[games]], in the [[comics]] or in the [[movies]]. The artifacts are usually powerful objects, denoting a forgotten ancient power. Some artifacts may need to be combined before its power can be revealed. Other artifacts are just normal, with no power, but can be used to open doors or active mechanisms.

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. Some artefacts only play a minor role and are simply used to open doors or activate mechanisms. Some artefacts have to be re-assembled before their power can be revealed. In some of the games Lara has to use the Crowbar to get an artefact out of a receptacle.
