==Restoration==The '''Restoration''' subskill *At 80+ skill level, there is used to identify and combine [[Unidentified_fragment|fragments]]. Rare partial items maintain rarity when combined with like fragments regardless of rarity. ==Identify==Identifying a fragment will tell you what it is a fragment of as well as how many more pieces are needed chance to assemble it into see the full item. Fragments will be either metal or alloy based unless it is a fragment length of [[ores|ore]] or [[metal lumps]]. To identify the period that a fragment, you will need a [[metal brush]] and/or a [[stone chisel]]. Activate the tool, right click the unidentified fragment and select "Identify". deed was occupied: Examining a fragment will tell you if you need a brush or a chisel to clear away dirt and rock from it - however, you may use either tool.

The fragment weight is You make a rough estimate that the weight of the completed item divided by the number of pieces needed.

==Combining==Combining * In areas that are considered valuable, finding fragments can only be done once you have the total amount of fragments required for the item. If it is a metal fragment, it will have the chance to become iron, tin, lead, gold, silver, copper, or zinc upon combining it. If it is an alloy fragment, it will have the chance to become steel, brass, bronze, seryll, glimmersteel, adamantine. Alloy fragments will result most commonly in steel unless very well identifiedbit easier at higher levels.

==Description==
Archaeology is a skill used in retrieving artifacts. It has one subskill of ''Restoration''[[restoration]]. These skills are used for locating, identifying , and combining of fragments of different items from resources to weapons and more.
==Usage==The '''Archaeology''' archaeology skill level helps determine what item or fragment you get when investigating tiles. It will also determine what and how much information you get on settlements that used to exist on or near the location investigated.
The type of fragment you retrieve is determined based on:
Each of these increase the difficulty of the action, but also increase the chances of finding uncommon item fragments, with the higher difficulties providing the most unique items.
When finding a fragment, you there may get be a message in the event tab stating information on past settlement locations. The higher your skill level in Archaeology, the more information you may receive. You also need an [[archaeology journal]] and 30+ Ql paper to record records of the deed to get the cache.
===Investigation===
To investigate a tile, activate a [[trowel]], right-click a tile and click ''Investigate''. This will search the tile for fragments.
*At 20+ skill, a [[shovel]] may be used instead of a trowel, increasing the difficulty of the action. Some fragments are instantly identified upon discovery at this level with no further restoration work needed. *At 30+ Archaeology you have skill level, there is a chance to see the name of one of the settlements at that location:
''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 Sunnyvale.''
*At 40+ Archaeology you have skill, there is a chance to see the name of the last mayor:
''You can see signs of a single abandoned settlement here. Based on your knowledge of the area and small hints you can find, the settlement must have been called Splash Point. You find a scrap of washed out parchment signed by the last mayor, Badgirl.''
*At 50+ Archaeology you have skill level, there is a chance to see the name of the settlement's founder:
''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 Mordor. You recall this settlement, and remember the name of the founder as Gromclad.''
*At 70+ Archaeology you have skill level, there is a chance to see names of deeds in the area some tiles awayand the time since abandonment of a deed:
''You spot some markers of an old settlement in the area. It looks like it may be close to the northeast from here. You find a small scrap of something that has the deed name on it... 'Kittenforest Paradise'.''
