The Dig is a novel written by John Preston that tells the story of the 1939 excavation of Sutton Hoo, an Anglo-Saxon burial site in Suffolk, England. The novel follows the lives of archaeologist Basil Brown and landowner Edith Pretty as they uncover a treasure trove of artifacts buried beneath a mysterious mound.
As Brown and his team unearth the ancient treasures, they face challenges from academic experts who doubt the significance of their findings. However, the discovery of a ship burial changes everything and solidifies the importance of the excavation.
Throughout the novel, the characters grapple with themes of mortality, legacy, and the passage of time. The story is a poignant exploration of history, memory, and the enduring power of the past.
The Dig was adapted into a film in 2021, starring Ralph Fiennes as Basil Brown and Carey Mulligan as Edith Pretty. The film received critical acclaim for its performances and cinematography, bringing the story of Sutton Hoo to a wider audience.
