I'm not entirely sure whether I have understood you correctly. Are you asking us to suggest any unusual artefacts (that have never been chosen by pupils in your school who have done this research project previously?) that you might research for this school project?
If I remember correctly you live in Belgium? Does your artefact have to be an object associated with your own history and culture or not? I think what you choose might be inspired by one of your own interests, or perhaps a visit to the local museum might help? What local industries are there - perhaps you could choose something connected with that?
Perhaps you could consider something very 'ordinary' like a disposable pen and investigate how that has developed from the early Biro.
What about a tool such as a cordless electric drill? You could look at the development of woodworking tools from the Middle Ages to today.
You might consider the beer industry and look at the way in which beer has been 'packaged' over the centuries - taking the modern beer can as your artefact..
Do you enjoy fishing? Perhaps you could research the development of the modern carbon fishing rod?
When I don't know which artefacts you are not allowed to choose it is a bit difficult to make suggestions but I hope there are ideas here that may inspire you.
