We still had energy but not the time to do so. Instead, I took him to Sutton Hoo by car. Although it was a warm day, Basil wore his jacket, tie, waistcoat and cap as usual. Not smelly at all. He remembered that in the first season, the summer of 1938, he explored three quite small mounds, finding that all had been robbed. He found little other than pottery, minor forerunners of what he brought to light in 1939. In the main mound it became clear to him that the grave had been undisturbed (if only by a few inches) and that he was tackling almost single-handedly a find of national even international importance. ....
The actor on playing a high-achieving, under-recognised archeologist, and English society It seems scarcely possible that an Australian directed The Dig. Simon Stoneâs mist-wreathed drama hangs around precise class gradations that once formed the skeleton of English society. It celebrates a quiet, undervalued hero who, as the second World War loomed, (literally) dug up icons of an indifferently understood past. Nobody says much about their feelings. The Dig could hardly be more English. Ralph Fiennes is magnificent as the self-taught archaeologist and astronomer Basil Brown, who, in 1939, discovered and helped excavate a huge Anglo Saxon burial mound at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. An entire ship was found in what may have been King Rædwald of East Angliaâs last resting place.

Frantically digging away at clumps of mud with her bare hands, Carey Mulligan had one thought in mind. She did not want to be remembered as the person who d killed Ralph Fiennes. The actor had been buried alive beneath a mound of earth, and Carey knew she had a finite amount of time to dig him out. The stunt was part of a scene for the pair s new film The Dig, based on the real-life discovery of a buried Anglo-Saxon ship filled with treasures in Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, in 1939.
