	===~~Artifact Research~~ Console===		===Anomaly Reporting Console===
	The ~~artifact research console is the cornerstone of UnityStation's archeology. The artifact research console~~ is where you will be recording all your observations about artifacts you are studying. To connect the console to an artifact, use a multitool on your desired artifact, and then use the same multitool on the console, if done correctly, the artifacts ID shall appear in the consoles UI. In order to save your data, ~~an artifact data disk must be inserted into~~ the ~~console,~~ data ~~can then~~ be ~~saved via the 'Write Data' Button. The accuracy of your research is important, the more accurate the data the more valuable the datadisk becomes~~. The ~~datadisk~~ with the recorded data can ~~than~~ be sold at cargo, a flawless ~~datadisk~~ will award 10,~~000~~ credits. ~~Note: Only one disk can be~~ sold ~~at cargo per artifact~~, ~~attempts to sell multiple disks with information about the same artifact~~ will ~~result in no credit gain~~.[[File:Artifact Analyzer.png\|left\|128x128px]]		The anomaly reporting is where you will be recording all your observations about artifacts you are studying. To connect the console to an artifact, use a multitool on your desired artifact, and then use the same multitool on the console, if done correctly, the artifacts ID shall appear in the consoles UI. In order to save your data, press the print button and the consoles current data will be printed to a physical anomaly report paper. The report with the recorded data can be sold at cargo, a flawless report will award 12,500 credits, mistakes will lower the report's value. Once a report about an artifact has been sold, subsequent reports will be worth 0 credits.[[File:Artifact Analyzer.png\|left\|128x128px]]

	=== ~~Artifact Data Disk~~ ===		=== Anomaly Report ===
	~~Artifact data disks~~ are ~~hard drives~~ that ~~contain data about~~ studied artifacts. ~~Use~~ the ~~Artifact Research Console~~ to write ~~data onto~~ the ~~disk and then sell~~ at cargo. If ~~an artifacts research has already been~~ sold ~~once to cargo~~, the ~~value of the disk~~ will be 0. ~~Artifact data disks are often found in boxes of 7 in the stations Xenoarcheology sub department. They can also be made at a research protolathe~~.		Anomaly reports are pieces of paper. Mechanically that's all they are. However, written on them is information pertaining to studied artifacts. You can use the Anomaly Reporting console to generate these reports for you or write them yourself if you are familliar with the format. Completed reports may be sold at cargo, a 100% accurate report sells for 12,500 credits. If a report pertaining to a given artifact is sold, any subsequent reports on the same artifact will be worth 0. Measure twice, cut once.

	* Remember, xenoarcheology is science's closest relation to the cargo department. On small stations it is cargo that provides xenoarcheology with its samples, and in return the researched ~~the~~ artifacts provide a nice credit sum for cargo.

	* If you are planning on storing an artifact, gas it into dormancy. Dormancy is a powerful tool, and dangerous and deadly artifacts should be dormant whenever they can be without disrupting research, less you come under fire by the crew for a series of anomaly related injuries.		* If you are planning on storing an artifact, gas it into dormancy.

			* Practice taking multiple samples of an artifact, and using the collective data to make more informed guesses as to the true composition of the artifact, you only have one shot at selling the artifact data, so make sure it counts!
			* Always wear your AP Hardsuit/Anomaly suit when dealing with artifacts, the AP hardsuit provides 90% resistance and the anomaly suit 99%. If you are a research director, your prototype hardsuit provides a full 100% resistance. You don't want to be caught without it.
			* Artifacts react upon taking damage (including sample taking), and they do not possess much integrity, so make sure to look after your artifacts, otherwise you could lose valuable research.

	== Mapping ==		== Mapping ==
			If you are a developer planning on mapping a xenoarcheology department, make sure you can tick all the following boxes:

			[ ] The department has at least one artifact analyzer, if its a large station, 2.

			[ ] The department has at least one artifact research console, if its a large station, 2.

			[ ] The department contains a box of artifact data disks, ideally next to the research consoles.

			[ ] The department contains one of each sampling tool as well as a multitool for artifact connection.

			[ ] The department has an air locked gas chamber with access to Nitrous Oxide for placing artifacts in hibernation. On large stations consider having a small atmos setup.

			[ ] The department has at least 2 AP Hardsuit SSU's and 2 Anomaly Suit lockers, consider adding more for larger stations.

			[ ] The department has at least 2 sample containers, consider more for larger stations.

			[ ] Large stations should have their own shuttle for xenoarcheology research.
