Follow up question: What kind of unit to use?

Whatever you like.

some options, with numbers

*shrug*  It no longer affects your chance of success, only how long the process will take.  Build whatever fits your fiction, and your commander's abilities, and your tranport's capacity, and your personal patience for many small formations or one large one, etc.

Nothing to do but to wait. They work automatically by giving a certain chance each construction phase to excavate something useful.

How do I start excavations on planet with ruins in new Aurora ?
I have sent ground units containing both construction and xenoarcheology equipment.
What else is needed ?
