Ancient Artifacts is the first full-length studio album by Orange County punk rock band D.I., released in 1985.

The songs “O.C. Life” and “Falling Out” were brought to the band by Rikk Agnew and had originally appearing on his solo album All By Myself in 1982. Two other songs on the album, "Hang Ten in East Berlin" and "Spiritual Law," were later re-recorded for the band's 1986 album, Horse Bites Dog Cries.

The song "O.C. Life" was later covered by Zebrahead as a bonus track for the Orange County OST, and also by The Offspring as a bonus track for their Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace album.
