I think TT are not in the real world if any of them think they have been the biggest funders of archaeology since the down turn. There are still some very big infra structure projects going on not to mention the Environment Agency tackling various flood control projects that have archaeology built in. In my neck of the woods there are a quite a few community funded projects with cash from the HLF and even local authorities. There is also the Penine Watershed Project. Some of these projects are on a much bigger scale than anything TT ever did.
