Congratulations - guess that any job is a trade off with pros and cons. No job has everything and with archaeology it always seems to to boil down to money and you will be in archaeology a long long time before you get offerd an arch job on that wage!
Archaeology seems to be experiencing a drain of skills and experience and if you leave now you should hav enuff exp to return to a relatively good job so the decision you make now is not as drastic as first seems.
Id give it a try if i was in your possition - you may love the new job and bet you any money their be a wet muddy hole somewhere for you if it doesnt work out and if you do decide the lure of arch is too strong at least youll return with a bit of the finantial burden removed
Good luck whatever you decide
