21-24k/ year for a fairly high profile job with a fair deal of responsibility in such a prestigious institution sounds a bit low to me.
I have compared the calculated weekly wage (£406 pw) of the BM post with other archaeological posts and it seems to be right in the middle of the range for senior managers/project managers, even starting salaries for many consultants. I am guessing (tongue in cheek) that you dismiss 90% of UK archaeological organisations as 'low profile, irresponsible and non prestigious'!!
My conclusion: If the BM salary is low, then so are all these other salaries.
