Notes

From the Comprehensive Rules:

An artifact is a unique weapon, suit of armor, or other kind of special object used by a character.

Most artifacts tell you who their bearer can be. Other artifacts play to your support area.

Though artifacts are played and used much like possessions, they are a different card type. Artifacts are not affected by cards that affect possessions.
