The '''Digsite''' is an archaeological excavation area just east of [[Varrock]]. Players need to proceed far enough into the Digsite Quest in order to fully use it. This area is a members-only location. It is visited during several quests:
*The [[Digsite Quest]]
*[[The Golem]]
*[[Desert Treasure]]
*[[The Temple at Senntisten]]
*[[Ritual of the Mahjarrat]]
*[[A Soul's Bane]]

During the Digsite quest, players learn that the area was once [[Senntisten]], the capital of the nation of [[Zaros]] during the [[Second Age]]. During the quest, players find a Zarosian symbol and a tablet telling all mortals to tremble before the power of Zaros. This area is said to be part of a city three times bigger than Varrock which supposedly reached to [[Edgeville]] (then known as [[Paddewwa]]). It was destroyed during the [[God Wars]] and replaced by [[Saranthium]], which was destroyed several hundred years before Avarrocka was established in 700 of the [[Fourth Age]].

After earning 100 [[kudos]] in the [[Varrock Museum]] miniquest, players will have future access to an unreleased island north of Morytania. The [[barge]] to travel there is currently being built just north of the Digsite. Workers are too busy to talk now. A new gate for the workmen just east of Varrock is closed, but players can enter through the gate to [[Paterdomus]] temple.

For players who are doing or have completed [[The Dig Site]] quest, the north-west winch at the Digsite provides access to the [[Digsite Dungeon]]. A [[Rope]] must be used with the winch to enter the dungeon.
