why would archaeologist be digging up dinosaur bones?

today, 6/17/08 on yahoo news the abc news team reports that "Archaeologists" are unearthing the remains of 148 million yr old dinosaur bones. Check me if I am wrong, but wouldn't these guys more likely be paleontologists?

Way to go ABC!!! Making the American public dumber one human interest story at a time.

    It could be ABC being stupid, or it could have been Archeologists doing a dig then discovering dinosaur bones.......either way, you are correct....dinosaur Scientists are Paleontologists.

    MAYBE ARCHAEOLOGISTS JUST FIND AND DIG UP THE ARTIFACTS AND FOSSILS AND THE PALEONTOLOGIST JUST STUDIES THEM AFTER THE ARE UNEARTHED.
