Locality & Cargo Cults

Folks, does Locality (Cargo Cult) have to be taken for a particular example of a Cargo Cult, or broad enough for all of them?
Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking about an archeologist character.

Hmm. Tough call. Realistically, individual Cargo Cults have a lot of variation. However, taking 15 different Locality skills is a serious pain. One might be able to make the argument that Cargo Cults are similar in outlook because of their similar roots.

In my own game, I'd probably say that the higher your level of Locality (CC), the more different cults you'd be familiar with. As an official ruling, I'd have to think about it.

Well, think about it.
In your copious spare time…
As a change in topic, what would be a good name for a Society that studies CCs? Part of me thinks something like the Ozymandias Institute might be the way to go. And change the special ability from a profession bonus, to a Meta Locale Cargo Cult that can be used across the various Cargo Cults.
