Archaeological sites are three-stage events unique to the Scarlet Orchard biome. Each stage offers a choice between looting the site for accessible goods and furthering the process of excavation. If the site is fully excavated, the final reward includes a unique Harmony decoration with a strong passive ability and two points of Reputation.
Sites can be found in any glade on the map, but there are always exactly three sites in any Scarlet Orchard biome. They are indistinguishable until the first two event stages have been completed. Finishing the third stage grants the Sea Serpent, the Sealed Spider, or the Smoldering Scorpion decoration.
