FIRST SIGHT When British Archaeology featured the Galloway Hoard (Jan/Feb 2015/140) it was covered in dirt, and a vessel full of precious Viking-age objects had not been unpacked. Now fully conserved, its full splendour has been revealed. The Arts & Humanities Research Council has funded a new three-year research project, and as soon as conditions permit it will be exhibited at the NMS in Edinburgh.

That speaks, dunnit, the past.
Basil Brown, played by Ralph Fiennes, in The Dig (Netflix 2021)
