WoD is coming! Once the new expansion is live, any changes affecting this post will be added as soon as said change is identified. Feel free to throw in your two copper's worth and I'll update this post accordingly if applicable.

Seeking to complete a newly unlocked rare artifact? Then this post is for you!

There are four rare Dwarf artifacts:

Stab des Zaubererthans Thaurissan requiring 150 fragments with 3x Zwergenrunenstein that can be used (I am yet to unlock this precious)
Die Tochter des Gastwirts requiring 150 fragments with 3x Zwergenrunenstein that can be used (my 17th Dwarven solve)
Aufziehgnom requiring 100 fragments with 3x Zwergenrunenstein that can be used (my 6th Dwarven solve)
Kelch der Bergkönige requiring 100 fragments with 3x Zwergenrunenstein that can be used (my 13th Dwarven solve)

While I may not have solved all 32 archaeological rares (I have 24 thus far), after hundreds of hours dedicated to the cause I can say this - there is a method to the madness! And I say madness because archaeology is one profession that should not be taken lightly. Get ready to dig... Lots.

When you arrive at a dig site, take a look around you. The surrounding mobs will generally be the best indication of what kind of archaeological finds you may uncover while surveying there. If you're surrounded by ogres, or something less obvious, then consider what the local settlements are predominantly comprised of, or who the local lore is related to.

In the Hinterlands or STV you'll be surrounded by throngs of trolls - and whadya know, the Troll Archaeology Finds go hand in hand. Wetlands, Badlands and Burning Steppes are all known for their dwarven dwellings - and similarly, so are most the archaeological finds. If animals dominate the land, then appropriately you will often find fossils.

Archaeologically speaking, the Night Elves thoroughly dominate Kalimdor, Dwarves and Trolls the Eastern Kingdoms, and Fossils neatly scattered across both. Outlands are only for the Orcs and Draenei archaeological finds. While Northrend is proving most interesting with Night Elvish and Troll Fragments popping up in addition to the expected Nerubian and Vrykul Fragments. For anything Tol'Vir, it's all in Uldum and Uldum alone (will update if this changes). Unfortunately, dig site spawn locations in Uldum share the same continent as Kalimdor - maximum total of four. This means you're gonna have to keep digging Fossil & Night Elf Frags (among others) all over Kalimdor in order to possibly have the Uldum dig sites spawn. Stay tuned!

There are always exceptions to every rule, but you'll find by and large that the above theory holds true. For those of you seeking dig site locations only, see below.

Dwarf Archaeology Fragments in the following dig site locations (revised and updated 19/02/12):

Eastern Kingdoms

Arathi Highlands - Thoradin's Wall
Badlands - Uldaman, Hammertoe's Digsite, Bloodwatcher Point, Agmond's End, south-east of Agmond's End
Burning Steppes - Chiselgrip, Ruins of Thaurissan
Hillsbrad Foothills - Dun Garok
Hinterlands - Aerie Peak
Loch Modan - Ironband's Excavation Site
Searing Gorge - Pyrox Flats, Slag Pit, Iron Summit, Grimsilt Dig Site
Southshore - south of Eastpoint Tower
Wetlands - Dun Modr, Whelgar's Excavation Site, Angerfang Encampment, Ironbeard's Tomb
Cata Twilight Highlands - (in the valley leading to) Grim Batol, Dunwald Ruins, Ruins of Drakgor, Glopgut's Hollow, Firebeard's Patrol

Kalimdor

Southern Barrens - Bael Modan

Fossil Archaeology Fragments
Troll Archaeology Fragments
Night Elf Archaeology Fragments
Draenei Archaeology Fragments
Orc Archaeology Fragments
Vrykul Archaeology Fragments
Nerubian Archaeology Fragments
Tol'vir Archaeology Fragments
Mogu Archaeology Fragments
Pandaren Archaeology Fragments

For a complete tally of ALL the archaeology solves you have slaved through, use the following macro (updated for MoP):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,12 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(9, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

This will produce a list like this:

Total artifacts
Dwarf: 44
Draenei: 11
Fossil: 64
Night Elf: 179
Nerubian: 4
Orc: 12
Tol'vir: 128
Troll: 87
Vrykul: 8
Pandaren: 25
Mogu: 26

These are found almost entirely in the Eastern Kingdoms, there is only one spawn point I am aware of in Kalimdor and that is the Bael Modan dig site in southern Barrens.
