I think job title's in Archaeology are meaningless at the moment.

Incidentally as far as I can tell Project Officer means an Officer who works on a Project. At my local council a Project Officer is more junior than a Project Supervisor. However looking on various council job websites it seems entirely dependent on the Council/Department...which is probably why it doesn't matter. Any prospective employer should be looking at the work you did/do and the level of responsibility you had/have rather than your job title...
