Sutton Hoo, The Dig, Basil Brown, and Edith Pretty

Who would have expected that a film about an archaeological excavation could be so captivating? Sutton Hoo captures the imagination because it is one of the few finds from the Anglo-Saxon period and has provided us with a rare glimpse into the material culture of the Anglo-Saxon upper class. The film The Dig focuses on the excavations at Sutton Hoo. Landowner Edith Pretty hired archaeologist Basil Brown to excavate the burial mounds on her estate. Basil Brown had a lot of practical experience but no formal education. Therefore, he was sidelined by other archaeologists when it became clear how important the find at Sutton Hoo was and the government got involved. The film beautifully shows the issues surrounding heritage, ownership, and appropriation of remnants from the human past.
