Epistemic artifact

A tool for thinking. Examples include externalized information representations such as text documents and database records along with graphical tools such as bar charts and geographic maps. Historical examples include petroglyphs used to mark productive hunting and fishing grounds. According to Clark, Dennett, Mithen, et al., the invention and use of epistemic artifacts are central to the explanation of human intelligence and human culture (Sterelny, 2004).
