Does TOP LOGS RECEIVED exclude archived caches?

I've been keeping an eye on top hiders (by logs received) in our county and noticed that 2 of our top hiders actually had their log count go DOWN significantly compared to about three weeks ago.   I know both have archived several caches recently and wonder if this indicates that the project-GC count excludes archived caches or if there is another explanation.

This is for US/California/"San Luis Obispo" county. Second place (DarkZen) went from a reported log count of 15209 on 12/29/2017 to 15172 today (01/19/2018) -- dropping by 37.   Third place (Evil Cow Pie) went down from 13462 to 13458 during the same 3 week period -- dropping by 4.

I'm not particularly worried about their numbers but more curious what this indicates about how Project-GC calculates these numbers and if the number doesn't indicate total logs received.    Maybe archived caches are excluded?   Or caches that changed ownership?   Something else?

Thanks.   I love Project-GC and am only a little obsessed with it. :)
