Having worked outside archaeology for 20+ years, yes, I can assure you that a lack of any kind of acknowledgement for even formal job applications (never mind unsolicited CVs) is absolutely standard. Even firms who carry out the first round of recruitment electronically, will rarely bother with a standard email reply to applicants.
Archaeology is behaving no differently than other areas in this respect and it shouldn't be taken personally.
