Ok. So I have skimmed back through all of the pages and I have been talking to some of the guys on the canonn discord that were at the site doing some testing. From what I have been able to gather it seems very likely that the data you will get is tied directly what artifacts you are carrying. So:
Orb = Technological
Casket = Historical
Urn = Biological
Tablet = Language
Totem = Cultural (this is theory as we haven't found any Cultural data yet)
Looking through the post I only found 3 instances where this did not line up. Interestingly in 2 of these instances the person said they had a relic and something else in their hold. So I wonder if the Relic maybe acts as a wildcard of some sort. This would need further testing.
Here's some links to a couple spreadsheets posted by others. In mrPaperRoman's spreadsheet there is one inconsistency.

Also in talking with others it appears that the data provided by the obelisk, and in this case I am talking about the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon, and Gamma, is completely random and has no bearing on what data you will acquire in terms of it being Historical or what not.
Another thing to note is that that we have to be careful with saying a particular combo of items provide a certain data from a certain obelisk. The reason I say this is that it seems that in situations where the obelisk only requires one item to activate it, the obelisk will still activate properly if you have 2 items in the hold as long as 1 of the 2 items is the correct item. I think this has led to a lot of the confusion of people saying they have received the same data with a different combo of items as the one that correlates to the data type is always the same in those cases. Now I'm not saying that some obelisk don't require 2 items I am just saying that not all of them do and that it can throw off our info.
That's it for me for tonight.
