Archaeology dig sites unlock requirements

Varrock Dig Site (Archaeology Guild) is the main Archaeology hub unlocked at level 1 Archaeology. It features the Archaeology skill's tutorial which will level up you to level 5.
In addition, there are five main dig sites to explore in Archaeology: Kharid-et, Infernal Source, Everlight, Stormguard Citadel and Warforge! If you want to learn the requirements and locations of these Archaeology dig sites, read our RS Archaeology dig sites guide for the detailed information.

Excavate hotspots by using RS mattocks

With the release of Archaeology skill, you are able to excavate hotspots at the five dig sites by using mattocks. There you can get materials, soil and artefacts. There will be a progress bar appearing above your head; once the bar is filled completely, you will obtain a damaged artefact.
RS3 mattock is a new tool used to excavate in dig sites. There will be a smithable mattock equivalent for each pickaxe tier, the crystal mattock, the dragon mattock, the imcando mattock and the mattock of space and time.

Rewards obtained from RS3 Archaeology

The major rewards from Archaeology include RS relic powers, ability to use Ancient Summoning and Ancient Invention skill. Once ancient relics are restored, they can bestow a variety of incredible powers. If you want to activate a relic, you need to find the mysterious monolith in the Archaeology Guild. There you can pay a certain amount of RS Chronotes and expend some Relic Energy to kickstart the relic. You could read our guide for RS Archaeology Rewards to learn more details of relics and others.
