I've spoken to them on the phone and they really are paying that much, the 30 is for the inconvenience of working away and the rest is for food. Which is very good considering I've just been on a job where I was told all my food was paid for, but when I got there it was less than £20 per person per week. To add insult to injury they expected you to make your own packed lunch every day to save them a couple of quid, rather than just give you the money to buy your own lunch, the site was in a shopping centre in the middle of a major city. On top of this they were getting people to take turns cooking for the whole house every night. I've never experienced anything so sad in archaeology as being taken to one side by my line manager over the price of a pasty which I'd just presented him with the receipt for.
