Just a quick look through it is quite interesting... more well paid that I would have thought!
Well paid? You are being ironic??
Over a third less than 17k, over half less than 20k. Average UK wage 28-30k (ish).
I can't comment on what people's wages actually are but from personal experience of what I assume they are it seemed quite high.
I would have expected more like three quarters under 20k and of those probably more than half under 17k. Perhaps it depends on where in the country you work as well. I'm not sure how relevant the average UK wage is to anyone's wages, archaeologists or otherwise; how is that figure even worked out?
