Just in case you came here looking to where you get the Chamber Key Fragment just go to a digsite and you should be able to find them. I got all 5 at 1 digsite in suramar.

A couple of observations:
The drop rate of the [item=134085] is quite high; I got all 5 in my first digsite.
I can confirm that the [item=87399] can come from any source at all, including previously-completed ones in your bank, quest rewards from completing pristine artifacts, and other archeology races. If you have 5 of these in your inventory, this part of the quest automatically completes.
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to reach Brann, just jump off Dalaran with a Goblin Glider Kit or similar device and aim in his direction, you will land almost exactly at his camp :)
Overall, this is one of the easier/less painful fortnightly archeology quests to complete, and takes very little time to complete. Happy digging!

Something that may be obvious but I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is that Brann will in fact take the Restored Artifacts. For people redoing this quest you may want to think twice doing this if you still have old Archaeology solves to collect. Basically you trade five Restored Artifact for 3.5 Obliterum (on most servers about 3.5k). I did it now to test it but I'm not sure if I'll do this quest the next time it comes around.

Description

I found a piece of what appears to be a key to something. I'm certain I can restore it if we can find the other bits. After that, we need to figure out what it's a key to. An' I think I know how to do that. I've been studying some of the artifacts I've found, and they seem to be pointing to a hidden chamber. I jes' need some more artifacts to study.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

One Step CloserLevel 45
<name>! I just heard that Brann Bronzebeard - that crazy, titan-obsessed dwarf - has decided to go hunting for his precious disc in Suramar. Talk about the last place you'd want to go digging around, given the current events. I'm sure he could use your help.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Dark SecretsLevel 45
I fixed the key and am ready to open the chamber. Meet me there when you have a chance and we'll discover what waits inside together!
