Although Unit does highlight the issue of field archaeologist to time in the field ratio. this is one that in reality will very likely never go away. Perhaps he is suggesting that the rates should reflect the seasonal nature of the work... ensuring that the 16-18k is gained during that short 6-8months window of fieldwork. Thus boosting a weekly rate to ( for an employed field archaeologist ) for example £550pw
THis is a simplistic way to view the situation. imho and also does not take into account why they feel they are "ripped of by the people working on the project for the directors off the wonderous RO who fell into thier positions three decades ago by peolple who witter on about salaries for diggers when diggers dont ever work long enough to averagely stay in a job for a year." and what that they (Unit of One ) would feel is acceptable.
They witter on about how bad it is as well. but don't actually say how they would solve it. another example of easy to complain/witter... not so easy to solve.
