** When Peggy asks Philips why he insisted that she accompany Stuart and assist with the excavation, she is expecting him to refer to her training under Stuart or to have read one of her few academic papers. He blinks in surprise and says he thought it was obvious: she's a short, slender woman and can fit into some of the narrow spaces on the site more easily than the men - not to mention that if one of the tunnels collapses, she's expendable compared to her husband or himself.

* CanonForeigner: Rory, the photographer with whom Peggy has an affair, is a fictional character who was created for the novel. In actual fact, three photographers -- two women and a man -- were used on the Sutton Hoo dig; their work included the first known use of colour photography at an archaeological dig. The presence of Rory, though, dooms them to being AdaptedOut.

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: As with the source novel, some artistic licence is used with regards to what actually happened at the Sutton Hoo dig and the people who were involved. For example, there is no evidence that Stuart Piggott was gay in RealLife, although he and Peggy did eventually divorce (she later remarried; he did not). As for Peggy, archaeologists have taken issue with her being depicted as inexperienced at the time of the Sutton Hoo dig, whereas she was in fact a respected archaeologist in her own right even then. Rory, the photographer with whom she has an affair, is a fictional relative of the Pretty family — and his entry into the story means that the two photographers who worked at the Sutton Hoo dig (both of them women) get AdaptedOut.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Befitting of a movie based on a novel about RealLife events, most of the cast are based on real people. Peggy Piggott is better known to history as Margaret Guido, the latter surname being that of her second husband.
