Angus Wainwright is one of our archaeologists, based in the East of England. He has visited and worked on many fascinating dig sites over the years, but if there’s one that stands out, it has to be Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. Archaeologists have been working on the area for more than 80 years, but it’s the first excavations in 1938-9 which are the subject of new Netflix film The Dig, starring Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. Here, Angus shares some of the details behind the drama, as well as his own history with Sutton Hoo.
