A paleobotanist is a scientist who studies plant fossils. They analyze the fossilized remains of ancient plants to understand their evolution, distribution, and role in past ecosystems.

Strictly speaking that is two different types of scientist!

The artifacts would be studies by archaeologists and the fossils of prehistoric peoples by a paleoanthropologist.
