Cataclysm Beta: Archaeology achievements

It occurred to us here at WoW.com that we hadn't mentioned these lovely new achievements implemented for the archaeology profession. In addition to the standard "you have at least this many points" achievements, there are also three achievements with a bit more flavor to them.
- I Had It in My Hand, which grants the player the illustrious title of Assistant Professor, is rewarded for finding a rare artifact.
- Seven Scepters is granted for recovering, well, seven scepters. As you can see above, two are named, the rest are not -- so your guess is as good as mine.
- The Lost Thanes is one you earn by discovering the names of the Five Lost Dwarven Thanes, apparently by discovering items they once possessed.

I predict a large amount of Associate Professor Eviil's in Cataclysm!

When we bring back the Artifacts, do they go in Warehouse 14?

All this news on new achievements got me thinking while I was looking over my statistics in the armory...
More goofy/random achievements like "Going Down?" or "It's Happy Hour Somewhere"!!! Achievements players get often by accident or without prior awareness of such an achievement. I've have over 7,500 deaths. At the rate I do BGs/WG and wipe on ICC heroics currently I should hit my 10,00th demise before Cataclysm comes out and I want that bling sound and pop up when I do. That'd be truly epic.

So looking to the extra (in game) lore from this.
Plus the title
Plus hopefully some random vanity stuff.
I have played this game so long that I am over 'serious' pve and even serious pvp (although I will likely change my mind for rated bgs) .. I might just spend Cata doing vanity things....
that's right.. I am taking this expansion off!

If there does not end up being a huge boulder rolling toward me while I am running for dear life, anywhere in my travels while doing my archeology-ing, I am going to be seriously disappointed.

Question... so will archaeology items be found as "treasure" (which would be correct in my mind) - and if so, will the dwarven racial "find treasure" be OP?

Will this go hand in hand with any other profession? ie. Mining? Unless I missed it...
