I have to say that the notion of establishing pay parity between academic and field archaeology is going to be difficult if not impossible.
I think in many respects debating if a grey literature for an evaluation equates to an academic paper submitted to learned journal is not worthwhile. The jobs are very different. No such pay parity exists for example in law, architecture or town and country planning.
Lecturers have responcibities that field officer dont have and vice-versa. Field officers donot set exam questions for example.
