Archaeologist

An Archaeologist is a particulaur type of historian who ventures out into the field to find ancient ruins and study them closely first-hand. They are intereasted in the cultures of lost civilisations. They work to uncover things lost beneath the earth over time and are eager to make new discoveries about the past. Archaeologists serve an most invalauble role of piecing together the developement of countries, people and cultures.

In the real world, Archaeologists are praised for their work. Often they employee locals to act as guides and labour from nearby villages close to the place they are digging up. Many countries like Eypgt thrieve on the efforts of their work over the years.

Other countries may approach the idea of allowing Archaeologists into an area for fear that they are spies working for other governments.

One Piece
In One Piece, the World Government does not mind Archaeology taking place. However should any Archaeologist (or person at all) research the Void Centry or the Poneglyphs they risk being sent to jail, killed and if not captured a bounty may be placed on their head.

Ohara Island boasted the most famous Archaeologists in the world and their Tree of Knowledge held the history of countries from around the world. They were eventually destoryed when the World Government found out they were researching forbidden histories, all save Nico Robin who had a bounty put on her head as a result of her escape from death.

Most people in One Piece seem unintereasted in the past and unaware of the Void century. Archaeologists are not completely scorned by people (unless they research the forbidden histories, then they are considered evil) around the world. However due to the Ohara inccident there appears to be few Archaeologists left.
