* "Artifacts" is very broad. It could refer to anything from ancient pottery to modern technology.
* "Trade" can mean different things. Are we talking about legal, black market, or even just the transfer of objects within families or communities?
* "North, South, East, West" are vague geographical terms. Do we mean specific continents, countries, regions, or something else?
To give you a better answer, you need to be more specific about:
* What kind of artifacts are you interested in?
* What timeframe are you interested in?
* What kind of trade are you interested in?
* Which specific regions are you referring to?
For example, you could ask:
* "Who traded ancient Egyptian artifacts in the 18th century?"
* "Who trades modern art on the black market?"
* "Who trades traditional clothing within indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest?"
Once you provide more details, I can help you understand the complex world of artifact trade!
