Episode 108: The Dig (2021) with Rob Rownd
Today we’re joined by professor/filmmaker/archaeologist Rob Rownd to review The Dig (2021), a film which tells the (mostly) true story of the Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon ship burial excavation of 1939. Find out why we love this movie so much, even though it makes some questionable decisions about the portrayal of real-life archaeologist Peggy Piggot.
