Artefact 

When an American uses this spelling, it refers to an unwanted consequence of an action, especially one long in the past.

The most common usage is in reference to graphical glitches in computer games or animations. A graphical glitch is referred to as an "Artefact" or "Artefacting", especially with the British rather than American spelling. Most specifically, "Artefacting" references images that are being shown, or pixels getting stuck long after they were supposed to be replaced.

The word can also metaphorically refer to an unwanted consequence that lingers far longer than it should.

Skyrim mudcrabs had weird artefacting in their textures.

Or

This limp is an artefact of my past.

Rare Indian Artifact

Discovering a full bottle of beer and or a bottle of booze on the side of the road on an Indian Rez.

When we drove to the Rez to get our cheap smokes we noticed a Rare Indian Artifact just laying in a ditch.

artifact children 

Term invented (or at least popularized) by the late musician Frank Zappa to describe children conceived primarily for the experience of having them.

"There seems to be this trend for the young modern parent to have a child for these reasons: For the woman to experience the miracle of childbirth and for the young couple to raise their precious child to be this immaculate artifact of modern society. If people think today's punk kids are repulsive, wait until they see what these little artifact children are going to do."

Frank Zappa

JPEG Artifacts 

When a picture has been reposted hundreds of times by different people across the Internet, to the point where the compression from being screenshoted and uploaded has become noticeable. This could be noticable blurriness, distortion, or pixelation.

I've seen this meme posted on so many accounts, I can see the JPEG Artifacts.
