I'm so confused, on the BETA there was an alternate choice and you would turn it the quest to Examiner Tae'shara Bloodwatcher if you did it her way.
Can confirm, clicked them all individually and waited, the quest completion dialogue acts as if you clicked the sweeper anyway. May as well save time, no interesting flavor text for the alternate path.

Description
Greetings, {name}. I have been sent on behalf of my father, High Examiner Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher, to oversee the extraction of all fossils, relics, and artifacts from this area. My sources inform me that an object that could advance the Horde's cause may be buried beneath this very site. I will require your help extracting it. You see, these nightborne are not precisely good with their hands. Nor do they enjoy getting dirty. Could you be a dear and set a good example?

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Xibalan Ecology
I had really hoped this area would be more hospitable. The Zandalari have been no help whatsoever in clearing this space for archaeological exploration. Before we can even begin to uncover Xibala's secrets, we must make it safe for those less combat savvy to do their work.
