Archaeology - What is this?!?

[Tbonez123]

I just hit 525 arch and I was wondering what (If anything) this grayed out part is, if anyone can tell me i'd love to know, it's bugging me haha

[thilicen]

Wondering about that myself. Could be the next "race" that they would add in a patch?

[Tbonez123]

I thought that too actually :/

[Richardhead]

good question.
525here 14 unique rare/epics. 67 unique commons and i have no idea what that is.

i cant even guess how many discoveries i've done..... no clue what that is.
my guess is something like instance/raid or holiday event type sites..

Blizzard has said that Archealogy is something fun they might add more to in later patches. To me it looks like a hat alongside with a pickaxe and a shovel.
Humans haven't got anything yet so could be that.
most likely though i think there's gonna be a "event" type that's active at the same time or the week before or after Darkmoon faire. Just have to wait i guess.

[Tbonez123]

Interesting theory. :P

There have already been some forum topics that have popped up about this. A curiosity, indeed.

I see a man with a hat wearing tools on his back. Bran?

Looks a bit like Harrison Jones' hat

[Polymera]

I was thinking that this image looked like an archaeologist and that it would be used for the upcoming (?) archaeology daily quests.

I bet it's related to Explorers' League

Hmm, Shovel and a Pickaxe.

Could this be the Wow version of Communism(Sickle&Hammer)?

Dammit, the Russians are taking over, I knew it.....Lineage 2 just wasen't enough for them

[nogue2k]

You dig up things from the ancestors.
Human ancestors are Vrykul, so yeah - Humans do have a thing.

Same reason gnomes dont have a faction. they were mechanical.

something to do with Harrison Jones. we've already found the arc, time for te aliens

[Bellhamy]

omg =O i didn't even notice that.
It sure does look like a hat, a shovel and a pickaxe. I'm clueless though...

Blizzard has said that Archaeology was designed to be "easily expandable", so I'm assuming we'll get more races in the future. That last icon is probably a placeholder.

I was thinking that Archaeology seemed a little incomplete ... *cough (wtb 85 Rogue boa gear please)
