The Dig’s Peggy Piggott is presented as an amateur only getting her start in archaeology at the side of her husband. In fact, by 1939, Peggy Piggott was an experienced archaeologist. In the movie, Piggott says she has not done much fieldwork, but the real archaeologist had already directed an excavation in 1937 in addition to extensive fieldwork. Like many women of the era, her contributions have been ignored (similar to The Alienist’s Sara Howard based on Isabella Goodwin), and The Dig unfortunately does little to shed light on her illustrious archaeological career. Although Basil Brown is based on a real person, not everything that happened to him in the movie occurred during the real excavation. In The Dig, Brown is buried under a mound’s collapsing dirt walls early in the excavation, but this never actually happened.

Often but not always a phase implies the identification of an occupation surface « old ground level » that existed at some earlier time.The production of phase interpretations is one of the first goals of stratigraphic interpretation and excavation. The process of interpretation in practice will have a bearing on excavation strategies on site so « phasing » a site is actively pursued during excavation where at all possible and is considered good practice. This describes the use in excavations of various types and sizes of machines from small backhoes to heavy duty earth-moving machinery. One of the earliest uses of earth-moving machinery was at Durrington Walls in 1967. An old road through the henge was to be straightened and improved and was going to cause considerable damage to the archaeology. In British archaeology mechanical diggers are sometimes nicknamed « big yellow trowels ».
