Spanish term or phrase: chiclero
Obviously, someone who gathers gum in the jungle...but what do we call that person in English? (A "gum gatherer" sounds like the sole of my shoes...)

En 1946, XX y XX guiados por el chiclero XX arribaron a un sitio arqueológico al que denominaron Ruin 10, según la nomenclatura del trabajo que realizaban en la cuenca del río Lacanjá.

thanks in advance for your help!
