This and this Pandaren Pottery Shard proves that will be at least 2 more races added to archaeology, the Mogu and the Pandaren.

What is it?
Mogu Statue Piece is the ultimate supplement to getting through your Mogu solves much quicker. To break it down:

It is an archaeological keystone that can substitute 20 fragments for each slot/socket you can place one into
Some archaeology solves will allow for up to three keystones to be used - open your archaeology pane and look for the empty 'sockets' that may appear at the bottom to determine how many you might be able to use
You are not required to use keystones when solving archaeological artifacts, but it certainly can speed up the process
There are some artifacts that will not allow for any keystones at all

Example:

Anatomical Dummy = 180 Mogu Archaeology Fragments; or
Anatomical Dummy = 120 Mogu Archaeology Fragments + 3 Mogu Statue Piece

Where do I get it?
There are only four sources for Mogu Statue Piece:

Digging - when surveying and digging at archaeological Mogu dig sites in Pandaria you will have a small chance to occasionally see one of these along with the Mogu Archaeology Fragments you collect. The following is a list of all known Mogu archaeological dig sites:
Pandaria
- Dread Wastes - Lake of Stars, Terrace of Gurthan, Writhingwood
- Krasarang Wilds - Ruins of Dojan (both North and South Digsites), The Krasari Ruins (Lost Dynasty Digsite), Fallsong Village
- Kun-Lai Summit - Gate of the August Celestials (Gate to Golden Valley Digsite), Winter's Blossom (Snow Covered Hills Digsite)
- The Jade Forest - Camp Gormal (Thunderwood Digsite), Nectarbreeze Orchard, Terrace of Ten Thunders
- The Vale of Eternal Blossoms - Ruin's Rise (North Ruins of Guo-Lai Digsite), The Summer Fields (West Summer Fields Digsite), Winterbough Glade/Jin Yang Road (Winterbough Digsite)
- The Veiled Stair - The Spring Road
- Townlong Steppes - Hatred's Vice
- Valley of the Four Winds - The Torjari Pit, Dustback Gorge (South Great Wall Digsite), Singing Marshes
- The auction house - being that these are brand spanking new, they're going to be expensive for a little while
- Dropped by Ancient Haunt - occasionally while digging in Pandaria, you may get sprung by one of these mobs, and killing them can net you keystones and fragments for either Mogu or Pandaren races (or relics for special hand-ins)
- Quests - occasionally while working towards finishing the common Mogu artifacts, you actually end up completing a 'Pristine' version of the artifact instead. Hand in the subsequent quest at the Seat of Knowledge in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (there is nothing else that needs to be done) and you'll receive one Mogu Statue Piece and 3x Restored Artifact (which is an archaeological currency for MoP).
  
  The following is a list of all possible 'Pristine' Mogu artifacts:
  
  Warlord's Branding Iron can instead become Pristine Branding Iron which gives you Pristine Branding Iron
- Edicts of the Thunder King can instead become Pristine Edicts of the Thunder King which gives you Pristine Edicts of the Thunder King
- Iron Amulet can instead become Pristine Iron Amulet which gives you Pristine Iron Amulet
- Manacles of Rebellion can instead become Pristine Manacles of Rebellion which gives you Pristine Manacles of Rebellion
- Mogu Coin can instead become Pristine Mogu Coin which gives you Pristine Mogu Coin
- Cracked Mogu Runestone can instead become Pristine Mogu Runestone which gives you Pristine Mogu Runestone
- Worn Monument Ledger can instead become Pristine Monument Ledger which gives you Pristine Monument Ledger
- Petrified Bone Whip can instead become Pristine Petrified Bone Whip which gives you Pristine Petrified Bone Whip
- Terracotta Arm can instead become Pristine Terracotta Arm which gives you Pristine Terracotta Arm
- Thunder King Insignia can instead become Pristine Thunder King Insignia which gives you Pristine Thunder King Insignia

What cool items can I use it for?

If you are an archaeologist then you can start digging at Mogu dig sites (when they spawn) and speed up solving Mogu artifacts.

Alternatively, if you don't want to use Mogu Statue Piece yourself, you can sell them on the auction house and make a neat profit.

There are two rare Mogu artifacts:

Anatomical Dummy requiring 180 fragments with 3x Mogu Statue Piece that can be used
Quilen Statuette requiring 180 fragments with 3x Mogu Statue Piece that can be used

How many other keystones are available and which races are they for?
These are all of the available keystones:

Draenei - Draenei Tome
Dwarf - Dwarf Rune Stone
Fossil - sadly, there are no keystones for Fossil artifacts
Nerubian - Nerubian Obelisk
Mogu - Mogu Statue Piece - NEW with Mists of Pandaria
Night Elf - Highborne Scroll
Orc - Orc Blood Text
Pandaren - Pandaren Pottery Shard - NEW with Mists of Pandaria
Tol'vir - Tol'vir Hieroglyphic
Troll - Troll Tablet
Vrykul - Vrykul Rune Stick

For a complete tally of ALL the archaeology solves you have slaved through, use the following macro (updated for MoP):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,12 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(9, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

This will produce a list like this:

Total artifacts
Dwarf: 44
Draenei: 11
Fossil: 64
Night Elf: 179
Nerubian: 4
Orc: 12
Tol'vir: 128
Troll: 87
Vrykul: 8
Pandaren: 25
Mogu: 26
