As for where to start, fossils are a good example.
Give some examples of artifacts that are used to determine the geological history of the Earth, as well as how its life forms have changed over time. Is the question given and I don't really know any artifacts that are used for the geological history of Earth. Can someone name some artifacts and help me with this last question?

Geologic Time Scale is the most relative time scale which records the time intervals on Earth corresponding to each other in succession. It is used by geologists to tell Earth’s history because it conforms to the order of Earth’s development with respect to dividing time in terms of Earth’s biotic composition representing various life forms.
