I would say that there is a strong arguement for archaeologists to be paid a 'dignity wage'. Of course this money has to come from somewhere and seeing as the majority of us are employed then that will have to be through an employer.
If you were to break your arguement down into day rates you will see that raising ?27,000 over the course of a year is very achievable. I estimate that your mythical firm of 17 persons would need to increase their day rates by approximately ?7 per person to meet my proposed increase.
?7 a day for a dignity wage. (Gosh that almost sounds like a slogan!!)
