Sorry Monty - I think this is barking up the wrong tree - the ration between charge out rate and pay is not the issue. If you want to increase pay then the charge out rate has to increase. Paying more, but charging out at the same level just means something else is going to be cut, be it standards, conditions, or someone else's job back in the office. Archaeology operates as part of a wider construction budget. At the moment you're fighting over the crumbs - you can carve up the slice of the archaeology pie however you want - 50/50, 25/75, 75/25 - but its the same size piece of pie. If you give with one hand, you have to take with the other. What you need to fight for is a bigger slice of the overall pie.
