Relics can actually be very informative when learning about history. A relic will tell you what a particular culture worshiped and to what extent. For example. finding something like a bone from a saint as a relic tells you that they were held in incredibly high regard and considered holy. Graven images being held as holy or divine would only be considered a relic if they depict a deity -so this tells us who the deity was.
Christian "artifacts" are usually known as relics. First class relics are pieces of a saint's body - usually a piece of bone or hair, second class relics are anything that the saint used in life, something he touched, like a piece of clothing, book, etc. A third class relic is anything that has been touched to a first class relic. First class relics are always placed in an altar stone when the altar is first blessed to be used for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Obviously there are no first class relics of Our Blessed Lord or His Mother, as they are both in heaven. The first list below contains a list of second class relics of Our Blessed Lord, like the Shroud of Turin, nails used at the crucifixion, pieces of the true cross, etc. The most common first class relics are pieces of bones of the saints which are put in altars all over the world, this comes from the first couple centuries when Mass was regularly celebrated on the tombs of the martyrs in Rome. The tiny pieces of cloth that you see in reliquaries and on holy cards are mostly second and third class relics from saints.
Archaeology studies the effects of ancient relics and cultures on humans. This science is an extension of antiquarianism which is the study of the relics themselves.
