Abstract. The article considers multiple character of semantics/values of cultural artifacts, among which the meaning of utilitarian-functional and the meaning of allegorical is distinguished. The predominance of one or another is due to the social context of the existence of any artifact. Three variants of interpretation of meanings are considered: absolute, relative and subjective, which in principle refers to artifacts of different types.

Keywords. Cultural artifacts, their meanings/values, classical, nonclassic and post-non-classical types of interpretation, social context, social conflicts.
