One who digs up the past (13)

I believe the answer is:

archaeologist

(Other definitions for archaeologist that I've seen before include "Antiquarian" , "Ancient digger" , "Excavating historian" , "One excavating history" , "One who studies past human life through excavation and analysis of artefacts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
