Description
View all your artifact's progress, and solve them in one compact frame. Also you can view all your artifact's history neatly sorted by race, and a list of digsites. You can left-click the keystone button to attach keystones (or right-click to remove), or if you prefer there are options to automatically use keystones! You can monitor the artifacts progress, or how close you are to the 200 fragment cap.
Important (09.16.12) Development will continue over at Curse.

Updates
(08.11.11) - Updated the ToC to 40200, unfortunatly I have not had any time for WoW or this addon and probably won't for a while, if you or someone you know is interested in helping me with the addon send me an email/pm.
(04.27.11) - Artifact progress bars should be more reliable, Added zone information to the Active Digsite Indicator, Fixed crash when MinArch and Blizz Arch were open at the same time, and some more smaller stuff.
(04.15.11) - Cleaned up over 90% of the code so it's possible that I broke something, added a couple new features, including monitoring the 200 fragment cap. Fixed the progress bars, although sometimes the texture isn't applied, ('/console reloadui' usually fixes it). Added artifacts sale price to the tooltip.
(02.09.11) - Fixed bug where Minimal Archaeology would not get the proper information about available keystones. There is still a problem with the artifact bars not being completely accurate...
(01.10.11) - Fixed a couple of bugs relating to history and added Discovered Date and Number Discovered (if relevant) to the main Minimal Archaeology frame.
(01.09.11) - Added a missing artifact to the dwarf history page.
(01.08.11) - Hopefully fixed a couple of small bugs. Added a history frame (who needs the default ui anyway), if I've missed an artifact or made any mistakes with this please let me know.
(12.24.10) - I forgot to update the toc, so this version still reports 12.23.10-2, sorry about that. Small bugfixes, added tooltip to keystone button to indicate available keystones (might need a little bit of work still). Also added keybindings to show/hide minimal archaeology, and to survey.
(12.23.10-2) - Fixed a bug that had and an archaeology icon floating next to the tooltip.
(12.23.10) - The skill bar should now hide when at max level. Added a button to open the default interface. Added a small distinction between fragment progress and progress gained with keystones. Also text for rare items should be colored blue. Added the artifacts icon to the lore tooltip. Small bugfixes.
(12.22.10) - Added the option to scale the Minimal Archaeology frame. Also added an option to wait to solve artifacts before auto-hiding after completing a dig site.
(12.21.10) - I did some major code cleanup, I'll do this every once-in-a-while since I get better as I go, and it makes the code a lot easier to work with. Also implemented an experimental fix for users that were experiencing initializing nil values. Last but not least, I added two new options, one to always start hidden, the other to auto-hide after completing a dig site (I need to expand on this and will). Also right-clicking the minimap will bring up the options panel.
(12.20.10) - Use keystones by left-clicking the keystone button, remove them with a right-click. Options to automatically use keystones.
(12.19.10) - Fixed the issue with the sound repeating. Adjusted the lore tooltip. The frame now remembers what state it was in at logout (so if it was closed when you logged out, it will be closed when you log in). Added an options panel which allows you to hide specific artifact bars, the minimap button and disable the notification sound.
Known Issues
History window sometimes doesn't populate, open BlizzArch History and close it, MinArch should refresh the history (if not, then it will refresh after solving an artifact)
Bars sometimes don't have a fill texture '/console reloadui' sometimes fixes this.
Sometimes bars do not immediately update after completing an artifact, (open/close BlizzArch should refresh it, or wait until you collect a new fragment)

I use an addon to detach minimap buttons from the minimap and move them where ever I like. However, this is the only mod that defies that ability. Currently, I use Detached Minimap Buttons and pMinimap. Has anyone had any success in detaching this minimap button from the minimap? If so, what addons are you using?
Sha, I'm looking into it, any/all info you can pass my way will help. If you can run a "/eventtrace" that might show something...
Methodika, I know how fix the conflict with MoveAnything, at the latest I should have that fixed by Monday, sorry for the inconvenience, I appreciate the guide.
Also a side note, if people want to send me translations of the english text, I'd like to try and start localizing MinimalArchaeology (pm me or post).
I use the addon MoveAnything! and after downleaded and istalled last version of MA it makes MoveAnything! appear as installed, loeaded but not working at all.
I really like your addon, i even made a guide of it for the spanish site http://www.guiaswow.com, but i decided to temporally disable it 'couse i consider more important all the stuff moved by the other addon.
Please try to fix this problem. I realy like your addon.
the /reload ui helped. 2 times and the progress bars are back. The other problem still occurs. This time not on the history. I tryed to check some options and then...
with the newest version the progressbars are gone. And when i hover over a completed artifact, my wow crashes....
I tryed to delete the savedvariables but same behavior. :/
regards, Sha
The progress bars is a strange issue, "/console reloadui" fixes it (not always on the first shot, I'm not sure what's happening there but I am looking into it). Hover over an artifact in the History window? I'll try and look into it, can you give me more details?
Originally posted by ichik Somehow, history bugs on Golden tooth (troll artifact). It's shown as incomplete, though i have it. I'm playing with ruRU locale.
I am aware of this bug, although I am not sure the best approach to resolve it since I'm using the Archaeology's project name and comparing the name to the actual item name for the database of archaeology projects. This seems to be happening in a couple of languages, especially french. My best option atm is to build a list of items that this occurs in (or have blizzard fix the names in the other languages so that they are the same).
I am currently working on some new features, since I managed to get the addon as a project for school, so there will be new features, once those are complete I plan to implement a system to clean up these discrepancies, so any occurances that you notice just send them to me some way and I'll make a note of them. Thanks
Loving the history list in this addon. Is there any chance of adding a TomTom integration like Archy does? That would pretty much convince me to switch. Great addon.
Reproduced it tonight -- it happens when a keystone is set in the solution panel, or "always use keystone" is set in the prefs. Turning off the keystone gets rid of the delays and memory leak. And it leaks/hangs everytime something changes in your bags (weird).
