Honestly, I think that archaeology was a test bed. They wanted to see how well received a more lore-based skill would do when it primarily served as an unlock tool for OTHER skills. I think we are going to start to see expansion on skills until most creation skills have an "Ancient" subset. ie - Ancient Summoning, Ancient Smithing, Ancient Crafting, Ancient Herblore (which is already coming with Orthen I think), Ancient Runecrafting (maybe released alongside a 120 magic / combat release with Ancient smithing/fletching/crafting for the 120 melee and range?)
Instead of "ancient" skilling, I'll rather think modernized skills with newly discovered ancient items are more appropriate.
Bear in mind we have found quintessence, the fifth element, in Stormguard and the Empyrean Citadels. This can be expanded into all kinds of skills like crafting quintessence rune in addition to the 4 basic elemental runes. Eureka! Here comes quintessence altar and magics.
We can also make Aetherium alloy weapons and armors which are also made from quintessence. Of course, it should be possible to create ranged and magic gear with quintessence too.
Now, quintessence is an ethereal element so perhaps it can be blended with divination energies to create a new godly energy that allows humans and pigs to fly among other godly actions too.
Creativity with a totally new element other than air, water, earth and fire is absolutely unlimited to Gielinor. We just need to use our little grey cells more, mon ami.
