Seems like the final points of artifacts are not random, you found an artifact twice at the same point (inside the house ruins).
I think that's good because after some time you will know where those points are and be done quicker, maybe with just one or two surveys.

that is just, woah...

question:
does every one share their dig site, for example there are 3 artifacts in one area, and you only happen to get 1 of them because some one else took others before you?

or does every1 have their own dig site?

I'm quite sure everyone will have 3 artifacts per digsite per "reset" (whenever/how often that is). Secondary professions are not that much about griefing others for the gatherables of that profession. Only if you count stealing pools for fishing.
Actually I hope there will be always digsite for your current skill available but on random locations. I don't want a "gated" progression so that you can only get that many skill points per day or so because there are no more free digsites left.

i dont like how this archaeology does not involve any actual digging -.-

Indeed. I had a plan for digging out a small mole hole where my character, a goblin, could retreat. No but quite frankly speaking, you would gain a lot more immersion from this but I guess there would be holes in the ground and mountains everywhere if digging was available.

Yeah, I've managed to find the same point 3 times in a row at a digsite a few times.
