-Data will automatically record to reports/pages as it is found via the archaeological investigation process. With sufficient information in a report, you will get the message: ''[21:27:06] You can see multiple markers of abandoned settlements here. Based on your knowledge of the area and small hints you can find, one of the settlements must have been called *name of deed*. You feel confident you know exactly where *name of deed* once lay, and complete the location details in the report.''
+Data will automatically record to reports/pages as it is found via the archaeological investigation process. Multiple copies of the same report do not combine to give more data. Keep a report of the same name in your journal. With sufficient information in a report, you will get the message: ''[21:27:06] You can see multiple markers of abandoned settlements here.

You feel confident you know exactly where *name of deed* once lay, and complete the location details in the report.''
 The option to "Get Direction" will appear on that report from the right-click menu. "Get Direction" will show the player exactly where the center tile of that deed once stood. A player can then stand on that tile, once located, and utilize the same "Get Direction" command to then unearth a special cache from that prior deed. Simply follow the directions given while trying "Get Direction" on different tiles. Once located, this cache will hold a variety of unidentified archaeology fragments with a higher chance at statue fragments in addition to a [[small token]] attributed to that old deed. Once this cache is unearthed, the report used to find it will be consumed. The amount of fragments a player may find is determined by their archaeology skill and the report's quality with a minimum of 10 [[fragment|fragments]].
