Abstract
Forensic evidence is data with evidentiary value. Such data is typically referred to as forensic artifacts and those come in many different shapes and sizes. The value of an artifact will depend on where it is found and circumstances around the artifact. Consider, for instance, a photo portraying narcotics. If that is found as a temporary Internet file, or in a user's download folder, the evidentiary value is quite limited. However, the value may increase if it is instead found in a folder with a lot of personal photos. What if there is also additional data which shows that it was actually taken with the suspects camera, at the suspects address? This chapter will describe different types of forensic artifacts and discuss how they should be interpreted based on how and where they are found.
