Don't really want to say anything about subsistence....
However, having finally got around to reading the details of the Network Archaeology ad, I notice that they have increased digger and supervisor wages by £12 and £9 per week respectively (compared to the rates they were advertising for the same posts as recently as last October).
As this puts Network into that small (very small) club of UK archaeological contractors who are paying the Outwage suggested 'dignity' wage i.e £300 pw for diggers, £340-£350 pw for supervisors, I think they deserve at least some congratulations....(if only to the extent of gifting them a personal appearance by Cliff Richard on his comeback tour!!).
