Very easy to achieve, if you don't run just for the main quest. I've unlocked it after 3 hours.
When you open your map (hitting

), you'll see many hot spot with different shapes.
Look for the exagon shaped icon, with a sort of star inside it. Press

button to set the icon as target and reach it. When you're close enough, move to ghost form pressing

and reach the artifact. Then, when prompted, press

to collect it.

Now you'll see the info of the artifact, rotate it with

and

looking for a blue hot spot. Eventually you just have to hit

to listen the story.

Collect 10 artifacts and you'll get the achievement.

Collect all of them, and you'll get also Shadows of the Ancient Past achievement:

This is the collectible achievement for gathering a quarter (11) of the Artifacts laying on the ground throughout Mordor. You'll also need to find their Memory Points by moving the object around (press X by 'default' to activate the memory) and listening to the audio recording. You can collect it by going up to it in the Wraith World (press V by default), and then pressing your use key (Ctrl by default).

Luckily, the collectibles in this game are all highlighted on your map as soon as your activate the nearby Forge Towers. You'll know if you've activated the forge tower if the tower icon on the map is bright blue, you can fast travel to it, and the area around it on the map isn't shrouded in darkness.

Remember, there are two maps and you can't go to the second one until a little while into the story, so you can't get them all right from the beginning. You'll unlock the second map about a third of the way through the story, where you'll find the rest of the collectibles.

P.S. Some of the collectibles are in caves at the very edges of the map, so if you can't find one on the map, look around the borders to see if it's there.
