'''Biofact''' may refer to:
In [[archaeology]], a '''biofact''' or '''ecofact''' is an object, found at an archaeological site and carrying archaeological significance, but (unlike an [[Artifact (archaeology)|artifact]]) not altered by human hands.


*[[Biofact (archaeology)]]
A common type of biofact is a [[plant]] [[seed]]. A seed can be linked to the species of plant that produced it; if large numbers of seeds of an edible species are found at a site, it may be inferred that that species was being grown for food there. Another type of biofact is an (uncarved) wooden [[roof]] beam. [[Dendrochronology|Dendrochronological]] analysis of some wood samples can help to determine the date during which a site was occupied.

{{disambig}}
In [[philosophy]], [[sociology]] and the [[arts]], a '''[[biofact]]''' is a [[hybrid]] between [[Artifact (philosophy)|artifact]] and [[living entity]], or between concepts of [[nature]] and [[technology]]. It was introduced as a [[neologism]] in [[2001]] by the German philosopher [[Nicole C. Karafyllis]] and fuses the words [[Artifact (philosophy)|artifact]] and [[bios]].
