If you attempt to do this quest a second time, you don't get a second reward. You get another key. No AP, no chunk of gold, no nothing. So don't bother.
Completing this questchain awards [item=131744]. Using this item in the Hall of Arcane Learning (where you do the rune drawing world quests) will transport you to a timewarped version of the room where you can do minigames such as more rune drawing and picture fighting. In this timewarped room you will also find [npc=112111] who you may duel after completing all the activities. Defeating her will award the Headmaster / Headmistress title. This title is not account bound so you need to do it for every character you want it on but you can also invite others to your group and use the keys allowing them to get the title without doing the archaeology quest.

Description
{name}, good to see you. What do you think of my shop so far? Not too bad for just one person, huh? By the way, High Examiner Tae'thalan has been digging around Azsuna, and asked that I send you to see him. Knowing him, he probably thinks he's found yet another world-shatteringly powerful artifact.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tried and True
I have realized through experience that the old methods are usually the best and for good reason. I'm done with alternate means of digging for now, and wish to focus on the right way to do things.
