I hate it when you pop a ruin the same turn you finish researching 'Archery' and surprise, the ruin gives you an advanced technology - 'Archery'.
 
I agree 100%. I find it very very frustrating. I think it should be changed. If a ruin gives a tech and you are already researching that tech then the game should pick a new one randomly.
 
Like said, luck of the draw. Sometimes you`ll get a completely new Tech .
 
To make absolutely sure, assuming there are no enemy AI scouts around, just wait one or two turns until your research is complete.
Of course, ancient ruins is like a box of chocolates...

This. With bells on. The way it works now, is just tacky.
 
You're still getting that tech a turn earlier than you would normally.
 
Map can potentially show you where city-states are for a better chance at getting the 30 gold. Worst ruin is the barbarian activity one.
