Archaeology is a secondary profession that is planned for the release of Cataclysm. There has been two primary professions introduced to the game before through expansions and those were Jewel Crafting (Burning Crusade) and Inscription (Wrath of the Lich King). While Jewel Crafting required the expansion to train, Inscription did not so were still waiting for info to see if you’ll need to purchase Cataclysm to learn Archaeology.

Archaeology revolves around the concept of “artifacts” that players will be able to unearth and learn about. Archaeology will allow players to discover artifacts which will unlock pieces of information about lore, cataclysm, history before, and even vanity items such as pets, mounts, and occasionally some items. It’s been hinted that players will be able to “appraise” artifacts which hints towards the idea that artifacts will be able to be sold for profit.

To interact with an artifact, players will “track” artifacts similar to a gathering profession and interact with the object as you would with, say an ore node. As you gather more information about a certain area, you’ll piece together rewards which adds to your journal. The current plans are to have artifacts store in your “journal” instead of your inventory, which will probably end up being something similar to a lore book.
