There is no market in archaeology that can be relied upon to raise wages. In years of boom we got precisely nothing from our employers even though we were all really busy. That is a dead duck, an idea pedalled by unit managers to shut us up. Will never happen.
Also, asking diggers to set their own pay or demand a certain wage is impossible for them. We have all worked for 80 quid a week to get the experience, doesn't mean its right though.
Sorry to put a downer on this, just feeling particularly cynical this morning.
