38. Fearsome Fieldwork - The Hill and The Hole & The Ruins

In which Matt and Cat dust off the field gear and start a Phase
II site evaluation.


While attempting to tackle the depiction of archaeological
fieldwork in the genre, we review 2008’s The Ruins and 2020’s The
Hill and The Hole which was recently released onto VOD. This
feature film is adapted from Fritz Leiber’s short story of the
same name and they really nailed what it’s like to be a field
archaeologist in North America… right before things take a turn
for the weird!
