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.

Nerubian Archaeology Fragments (proving extremely scarce compared to their Vrykul cousins - 3:1 dig site respawn ratio) in the following dig site locations (revised and updated 19/02/12):

Eastern Kingdoms

Eastern Plaguelands - Plaguewood Tower, Plaguewood, Terrordale (near Terrorweb Tunnel)

Northrend

Zul'Drak - Kolramas
Borean Tundra - Talramas, Temple City of En'Kilah, between Gammoth and Valiance Keep
Icecrown - Scourgeholme, Valley of Echoes
Dragonblight - Azjol-Nerub

Fossil Archaeology Fragments
Troll Archaeology Fragments
Dwarf Archaeology Fragments
Night Elf Archaeology Fragments
Draenei Archaeology Fragments
Orc Archaeology Fragments
Vrykul Archaeology Fragments
Tol'vir Archaeology Fragments
Mogu Archaeology Fragments - STILL IN PROGRESS
Pandaren Archaeology Fragments - STILL IN PROGRESS

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
