[2020] Archeology Press Release (More in comments)

Free players don't have to worry either since Archaeology won't be an elite skill and can be levelled up to a level cap of 20 with around two hours of play.

Interesting... I wonder if that means a fast acceleration into all of the skill elements which combines with the slow level build up after that.

Not in terms of leveling I mean in terms of giving you so much to do in the skill, I'll reword my comment :P
