its funny you mention this. someone sent me a paper published 12 yrs ago on the topic of workers. The data is not perfect but on page 173 the data they do have shows that the wages use to be a lot closer. I am planning on doing the wages for project managers and PI's. to see if this is a trend across all of archaeology with the top getting richer and the bottom well staying the bottom.
you can see the paper I am talking about here
