Archaeologist
King Nabonidus was believed to be the first archaeologist ever. When looking for artefacts, most of them are buried underground quite far down.
Archaeologists (not all) study and look at living cultures but most archaeologists focus on the past. Monuments have been dug up and artefacts have been collected for thousands of years and still are.
The common equipment they may need to complete these excavations are shovels, spades, trowels, sieves, brushes and buckets and archaeologists carry these around with them most of the time. They also could use dental picks, measuring tapes, storage bags, pens, pencils and line levels.
I found archaeologists work for parts of universities for teaching and research but also work for national agencies.
