Page "Paleontology" Paragraph 11

Palaeontology also has some overlap with archaeology, which primarily works with objects made by humans and with human remains, while palaeontologists are interested in the characteristics and evolution of humans as organisms.

When dealing with evidence about humans, archaeologists and palaeontologists may work together – for example palaeontologists might identify animal or plant fossils around an archaeological site, to discover what the people who lived there ate ; or they might analyze the climate at the time when the site was inhabited by humans.
