Spanish term

investigadores de cepa

Spanish to English Art/Literary Archaeology
La Piedra del Sol, mejor conocida como Calendario Azteca, es a todas luces el monumento indígena con más identidad nacional. ... La historia bien documentada, la de nuestros investigadores de cepa, cuenta el verdadero y real acontecer de ese pasado y devela la prístina función de este colosal monolito.

"de pura cepa"... But that is Spain´s Spanish (DRAE): de pura cepa
1. Dicho de una persona: Auténtica, con los caracteres propios de una clase. Un andaluz de pura cepa.

Spanish term (edited): la de nuestros investigadores de cepa

Or, perhaps:

which has been recounted/well-told by our own very own researchers within the field

...with the emphasis being on the fact that the investigators in question are from the same country/culture being investigated. I hate to say it, but more CONTEXT would be helpful here..... :)
