Archaeology is a skill which allows players to excavate damaged artefacts at dig sites and restore them using materials gathered at the dig sites and elsewhere. Once restored, the artefacts can be turned in to collectors across Gielinor. Players can unlock relics that provide passive effects as well as Ancient Summoning and Ancient Invention.
Archaeology is RuneScape's 28th skill and the most recently added skill, released on 30 March, 2020.
