after all, BAJR would not be supporting sub BAJR rates.
Sorry David, but I actually meant a proper decent wage, something well above either IfA minima or BAJR rates. Something around the IfA recommended starting salaries for example. After all, the staff will be amongst the best field archaeologists in the world....a certain well-known archaeological TV programme used to pay a very low day rate ('oh, but you got on telly and there is nice food so its ok') so I think its a fair question to ask.
I think it is important that people realise that archaeology done properly is not cheap, and that if they are charging commercial market rates for this kind of 'experience' they should be paying the kind of wages that go with that, not the kind of wages that Diggers usually get. Its good to see the Southport Agenda being embraced though :face-stir:
