Getting credit for your work in archaeology is often a struggle - often units do not even bother to include the names of the excavators in their publications/reports, they just write the name of the person who wrote up the report (and sometimes the unit manager if they edit). And then theres the on-site recording, the person writing up mayl lift your interpretation wholesale off a context sheet but the theories in any further publications is attributed to them, or you may be a talented site draftsman and your drawing are little more than traced back in the office but the name of the illustrator goes on the report. So photographs are only the tip of the iceberg!
And are you sure you were really self employed and it was not just a unit pulling a fast one - were you offered a day rate which reflected your loss of holiday/sick pay/pension, may be worth checking out BAJR guide to self-employed as sounds a bit off to me. Read up everything you can find on the subject and dont get stung next time x
