I'm going to try and use this opportunity to learn modding, but I wanted to see if someone better than me can pull it off first.
A mod that specifically highlights ruins where you can get artifacts in the modern era would be really helpful. The one that the game has built-in isn't really helpful, and I can never find artifacts. It would also be helpful to have some type of warning like "All artifacts obtained from excavation" at some point; maybe it could integrate with the notifications mod? Another alternative would be a mod that adds more opportunities to dig up artifacts in the game.
The current workaround I've been using is Moxl's Map Search and searching "ruins," but then you miss out on wonders. (Also, don't accidentally send your explorer directly on top of the Bermuda Triangle...hilarity and confusion ensues.)
These were inspired by a game I just won as Hatshepsut, where I was shooting for a cultural victory. I was at 14/15, with every AI declaring war on me at the same time. They ended up also stacking up on the artifact spots, which denied me the last ones I needed. It was basically a war of attrition between my researching the final civics research and my trying to block six different civs from taking my capital. A mod that did any or all of the above things would have prevented the heart attack I almost had - lol.

. You want a regular kind of lens, like the Discovery Lens mod but for artifacts? And then combined with a counter (like in the continent lens map legend)?
