Have you checked the game log to check the order of events? I suspect that the artifact list might not be sorted in any reasonable order.

yes, the toy axe is on line 2080, the armor stand on line 4402 in my notepad. also, ingame the artifact list (via "l")lists the artifacts in the correct order, toy axe before armor stand

just had the same thing again:
old artifact: http://tnypic.net/a5b72.jpg [^]
new artifact: http://tnypic.net/b7c52.jpg [^] on the bottom line
same story as above, didn't check the artifacts for some time, and when I did, this was the outcome

Version 0.34 seemingly updated the handling of art images to allow their generation to be deferred (see the devlog entry for 02/04/2012), and failing to actually view the artifact immediately after its creation is apparently causing the images to be chosen differently (since there's now more stuff to choose from).

I can't test this properly, but is it possible for an engraving to detail an event in the future?

dree12: no, it is not possible for the reason that the game needs to examine the contents of the art image in order to decide what character to display on the engraved tile.
