ArtifactCondition tells you how much of an Artifact survived to be recovered, which matters for analysis and display. COMPLETE means the whole object is present and intact. FRAGMENTARY means only a broken piece or pieces remain, with portions missing. RECONSTRUCTABLE means the object is broken but enough fragments are present that it could be mended back together into a recognizable whole. Recording condition consistently lets analysts weigh how representative each piece is when interpreting an assemblage and planning conservation work.
