rediscoverers

Those uncovering anew

Rediscoverers are people who find or uncover something that was known before but had been forgotten, lost, or overlooked: The rediscoverers of ancient Roman concrete techniques may revolutionize modern construction.

The term emphasizes that the knowledge or thing existed previously—someone else discovered it first, but it fell out of awareness until these later figures brought it back to light.
