I've been leveling Archaeology as it was neglected for the past 2 years. When I got to Legion zones, I've been bouncing between the 5 same dig sites all in Val'Sharah for the past 150 skillups. Aren't I supposed to see other dig sites beside Highborne? I have not seen Highmountain Tauren or worked outside Val'Sharah zone since the first time Eche'ro became available 2 years ago. I stopped Archaeology after getting that mount.
Legion digsites are attached to a quest in Dalaran that changes every 2 weeks. So as long as that quest is up the only digsites up are in Val'sharah. When the next archaeology quest comes up, you will be in a different zone.
I found legion archaeology disappointing because you couldn't sell anything and the rewards were locked to that quest cycle, and they were account-wide stuff (like the toys, pets, and heirlooms).
The major advantage of Legion archaeology was power leveling that profession skill
1. travel time between dig sites is very small (close together, all in 1 zone)
2. it takes 9 finds to clear a site (WoD needed 12, and everything else needed 6) but with Gathermate you should be able to find items quickly. And if you use the fixed version of Archaeology Helper you'll really burn through sites.
3. There were a lot of keystones that dropped from angry spirits which turned even high-fragment solves into very quick solves.
Add in you're now 120 and have flying that makes your time there even more efficient.
Do Legion archaeology for the skill power leveling to 800 or to turn out crates for buying other fragments. There aren't any other reasons to do it.

Makes for easy Tol'vir farming to get that rare bug mount! Since Tol'vir dig sites can be stingy at times but Legion artifact crating and swapping for Tol'Vir is much faster than flying all over Kalimdor trying to clear other dig sites to spawn Tol'vir
