This is the forth part (part 1 on field tech pay can be found here, part 2 here (crew chief), part three- project manager) of the yearly review of how much archaeologists make in the US. Without sounding like a broken record: again, apologies to Canada, not enough data to include you This is a snap […]

This is the second part (part 1 on field tech pay can be found here) of the yearly review of how much archaeologists make in the US (apologies to Canada, not enough data to include you). This is for the position of crew chief. Previous years findings can be seen here. Now, this is a […]
How Much Do Archaeology Project Managers Make- with 2011 data
January 11, 2012
This post looks at pay for project managers/project directors/junior archaeologists/project supervisor (there are about a dozen different names for this position but it is really middle management e.g. someone who is in charge of excavations or the lab on projects but is not the very top person like the company owner or senior management). As […]
How Much an Archaeology Crew Chief Makes, 2011
January 9, 2012
In this post I take a look at the pay for the position of crew chief/senior technician. The methodology is the same as before. This position is a weird one in that not every company has this type of position and it also tends to be a position seen in some areas of the country […]
How Much Did Archaeology Technicians Make in 2011
January 7, 2012
The numbers are in for my annual examination of archaeology job postings in the US (UK runs on a fiscal year and will be ready in April). My data comes from the job postings on the websites Shovelbums.com yahoo group and Archaeologyfieldwork.com (added for the 2011 numbers), duplicate posts between the two and multiple postings […]
Jobs in British Archaeology 2008-2011
January 4, 2012
An article of mine was recently published in The Archaeologists, which is open access but with a 1 year rolling wall were you have to be a member of the IfA to see it. The reason I published there was because it was open access but one year is a long time to wait for […]
East vs. West- Why pay is better for archaeologists in the west II (government land)
December 13, 2011
Yesterday, I wrote about how archaeologists in the Western United States make better pay then those in the Eastern United States. I also looked at land size, number of archaeology programs available, and population of states to see if there was any correlation between these factors and pay; there wasn’t. Moving on to the next […]
East vs. West- Why pay is better for archaeologists in the west.
December 12, 2011
It has been pretty well documented that pay is better for archaeologists in the Western United States vs. the Eastern United States (see here for another publication on it, p.36). Lots of people have made guesses as to why that is but no one has actually investigated it. I figured I would test out some […]
Canary in the Coal Mine: Will anthropologists be the first to go?
November 17, 2011
Dr. Janice Happer, an anthropologists herself, wrote a very interesting opt. ed. “Why Florida Gov. Rick Scott Was Right To Slam Studying Anthropology“. Which is quite a different response then other anthropologists to Governor Rick Scott’s comments. She does point out, as I have, that the numbers provided by the Department of Labour are crap […]

Archaeologists Field Tech Pay in the US
August 28, 2011
I have updated the my page on archaeology job conditions in the US with field tech data for all of the states west of the Mississippi. Again, it is job postings so the data is limited but it gives you an idea of what the pay, per hour, is like out there. Here is the […]
Archaeology Job Conditions in the US

Here is first section on field tech pay: Field Technician (Techs) is the entry level position for most archaeologists who go into commercial work. Pay differs from region to region and state to […]

August 16, 2011
Georgetown university just published a report on lifetime earnings of people by degree level e.g. some highschool, highschool, BA, MA, PhD, and professional degrees. You can see the summary and full report here: http://cew.georgetown.edu/collegepayoff/ They have a even shorter summary of 4 rules: Rule No.1: Degree Level Matters. But Rule No.2: Occupational choice can […]
The Little Victories
May 5, 2011
One of my concentrations at the moment has been pay conditions in UK archaeology. I have done a bunch of posts on it (to many to list here). Most of my work has been examining job postings from the IfA jobs information bulletin. For about a decade someone would go through the job bulletins each […]
Life Time Earnings of a Archaeologists: Commercial, US
April 30, 2011
This developed out of my own personal curiosity about what a archaeologists will make over their lifetime. You can google this information BUT what you find is completely useless. The data used to create these numbers are ether from of small sample that means nothing or from government statistics which, again, means next to nothing. […]
Archaeology Consultant Jobs UK with BAJR data
April 29, 2011
The last of my Google maps of UK jobs have been updated with BAJR data, at least for the year 2010. Hope it is of help. As always this map, many other maps, and a description of the methods used to create them can be found here.
Job Map of the UK: Project Managers and Above
April 26, 2011
To add to the several other maps I have created recently, here is a map of Project Managers (and above) for the last three years now updated with BAJR data (2010 only). Thank you David and thanks IfA for the original data as well. See more maps here

Field/Project Officer Pay in the UK

Updated the Field/Project Officer pay map with data from BAJR. There is now a fairly complete listing of all the jobs from 2010 that people advertised for. As always this has been added to the regional map.
Illustrator Job Maps Now with BAJR data.
April 21, 2011
Again, thanks to David Connolly I have been able to update my UK jobs maps with BAJR data. I have added the job postings for 2010 to both the individual map and the region map (see below). It was not that many extra but every little bit helps.
Excavator Job Maps: Now with BAJR data
April 19, 2011
Thanks to David Connolly, I now have job posting data from BAJR. I am adding it to the maps I have made so far (see here for summary). It’s a lot of data, so it is slow going, but when I am done it should represent the majority of archaeology job postings in the UK […]
UK Archaeology Jobs Map for 2010
April 18, 2011
After receiving some feedback of the earlier job maps I created (see maps here) I have made some changes . Apologies, to those who saw the first version. I am creating maps in Googlemaps which has a different view than those of the embedded maps. On my editing screen in look clean and straightforward but […]
It’s Good to be King
April 17, 2011
The other day I blogged about how Excavator wages in the UK actually improved significantly at the turn of the millennium. Well, following the same methodology I looked at senior positions in archaeology (project managers and senior CRM/SRM archaeologists: CRM – cultural resource management, SMR- Sites Monuments and Records). The 1990′s were decent for these positions […]
Good News! Sort of…. and tens years late.
April 11, 2011
It is real easy to get very doom and gloom when discussing the living and working conditions of archaeologists. So it is always nice to find some good news, even if it is ten years late. Excavators barely get paid a living wage (debatable) and easily some of the lowest wages of those that go […]
They are Making How Much!?! That Can’t Be Right!!!!!
April 10, 2011
As of recent, I have been looking at the pay trends of archaeologists in the US and UK. There were two ways I could have approached this, a census (large sample no census gets 100%) or a sampling (small sample). With a census I could have sent out a massive mailing asking for information from […]
Archaeology Jobs, UK- Specialists
April 6, 2011
So to continue my work from earlier, see here, here, here, here, here, and here, I have made a Google map of the job postings for specialists in archaeology. There is a wide range of specialist jobs from radiocarbon dating to zooarchaeology. I have also made a webpage on how to find information on job […]
Commercial Archaeology Jobs, UK- Project Managers and Senior Positions
April 4, 2011
To continue with the trend of the last few posts here is a Google Map for Project Manager jobs in the UK. I should reiterate that locations are approximations e.g. I place a marker in London for jobs based out of London but do not actually put the exact location.
Commercial Archaeology Jobs, UK- Supervisors
April 2, 2011
So to continue with my last several posts I have created another Google map. This one is for commercial archaeology position of Field/Finds supervisor. If you are not familiar with the UK system a site supervisor is just above excavator and below field officer. It would be the equivalent of Crew Chief in the states […]

After my disaster with Bing Maps I am moving back to Google Maps. Here is a map of excavator jobs in the UK between 2008-2010.
Archaeology Illustrator Jobs in the UK & Bing maps
March 31, 2011
I have recently been combining some of my data with web-based map services. My first try was with Goolge Maps and this attempt is with Bing Maps. I have to say that Bing Maps has pleasantly surprised me. I am not a huge fan of Microsoft products but this one is pretty good. There are […]
Archaeology Consultant Jobs UK
March 30, 2011
As part of my current research, I am going through the IFA job bulletins looking at pay rates for the last few years. While the results will eventual make its way into a paper publication I am trying to experiment with other avenues to present the information. To that end, I have taken a subset […]
Labor of Love or Exploitation
March 19, 2011
So for my first true blog I will talk about some of my most recent research. Long story short, I went through the job postings on archaeology job site, Shovebums, and calculated out the wages for Field Techs (entry level position in archaeology) for the last couple of years. I even turned the data into […]
