Stage 1: Trowel Technician

Task	Tips
Excavate 3 Dig Piles or Excavation Sites	Travel to Belomisia Jungle (via Salvadorada). Look for sparkling dirt mounds. Dig piles are easier to find during dry seasons
Uncover Artifact from Dirt Clump	While excavating, you’ll collect dirt clumps. Click them in your inventory to uncover artifacts

TIP: Dig sites yield more artifacts than single piles. Survey and establish excavation sites early to maximise progress.

Stage 2: Research Associate

Task	Tips
Achieve Level 4 Archaeology Skill	Study artifact authentication, survey, and excavation to quickly level up. Reading skill books helps too
Survey for a Dig Pile	Click on the ground (in jungle lots) to survey. Your Sim will reveal a dig pile or excavation site nearby
Authenticate 3 Artifacts	Use the Authentication Table (found in Build/Buy under “Archaeology”). Requires dirt clumps from excavations

TIP: Always bring your authentication table with you when you travel! Saves time going home to finish artifact work.

Stage 3: Excavation Expert

Task	Tips
Achieve Level 7 Archaeology Skill	Keep excavating, authenticating, and reading skill books
Establish 3 Excavation Sites	Once your skill is high enough, click a dig pile → Establish Excavation Site. This lets multiple Sims help and increases loot
Find & Authenticate 5 Excellent Quality Artifacts	Only authenticated artifacts will count. Quality is tied to skill level so try after level 7+

TIP: Artifacts have fake versions! If it doesn’t count, check the quality rating or try authenticating again.

Stage 4: Archaeology Scholar

Task	Tips

TIP: You can give lectures to friends, family, or strangers just make sure your Sim is in a good mood and that the listener isn’t distracted!
