Excavation Sites
There are 3 unique sites of excavation that can be dug up and restored by your villagers. Each site must be excavated, conserved and then restored. Once restored, it becomes a 9 Harmony decoration, gives 2 Reputation Points and a powerful Perk.

These digsites and their requirements can be viewed on Glade Events.

Strategy

 * It is possible to narrow down the closest Excavation Site to 1-2 Small Glades. They are never found in Small Glades directly adjacent to your starting Glade, and there is always a patch of forest between the starting Glade and the Glade with the Excavation. You could also exclude 1-2 Dangerous Glades - the Dangerous Glade excavation can never be found in a Dangerous Glade directly adjacent to the starting Glade.
 * Each Excavation Site stage requires a large amount of resources to solve. It is highly advisable to build a Warehouse in close vicinity to minimize the time it takes to haul Resources to the event.
 * Excavation Sites take a long time to solve. Glade Event work speed increasing Effects can save both time and scout labor. Sacrificing also helps.
 * Steel Drills (+1/2 production) is uniquely strong on Scarlet Orchard because of  Coppervein Trees.
 * Archaeologist's Office encourages stockpiling s to scale its Ancient Strength and Decryption Effects.
 * Not being able to source raw food is somewhat common for Scarlet Orchard due to its trees and resource distribution. Invest in farms or a food processing building to avoid starvation.
 * Consider using big deposits for food if your villagers are at risk of starvation. 60% chance of bonus food yields combined with Stonecutters' Camp's short production cycle will keep villagers fed at least until  nodes run out.
 * Scarlet Orchard does not have any, , or nodes. Should you want to make  or  sustainably, you have to resort to using Ranch or delivery lines.
