Schliemann was angry when Calvert published an article stating that the Trojan War period was missing from the site's archaeological record.

Schliemann published his findings in 1874, in Trojanische Altertümer (" Trojan Antiquities ").

* Wilhelm Dörpfeld on Schliemann – Preface by Dörpfeld to the book " Schliemann Briefe " ( 1932 ), published by Ernst Meyer.

Schliemann was an archaeological excavator of Troy, along with the Mycenaean sites Mycenae and Tiryns.

Schliemann later claimed that at the age of 8, he had declared he would one day excavate the city of Troy.

Schliemann was at first skeptical about the identification of Hissarlik with Troy but was persuaded by Calvert and took over Calvert's excavations on the eastern half of the Hissarlik site, which was on Calvert's property.

Schliemann began work on Troy in 1871.

Thinking that Homeric Troy must be in the lowest level, Schliemann and his workers dug hastily through the upper levels, reaching fortifications that he took to be his target.

Although he had received permission in 1876 to continue excavation, Schliemann did not reopen the dig site at Troy until 1878 – 1879, after another excavation in Ithaca designed to locate an actual site mentioned in the Odyssey.

Schliemann made a third excavation at Troy in 1882 – 1883, an excavation of Tiryns with Wilhelm Dörpfeld in 1884, a fourth excavation at Troy, also with Dörpfeld ( who emphasized the importance of strata ), in 1888 – 1890.

Further excavation of the Troy site by others indicated that the level he named the Troy of the Iliad was not that, although they retain the names given by Schliemann.

In 1868, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann met Frank Calvert, who convinced Schliemann that Troy was at Hissarlik and Schliemann took over Calvert's excavations on property belonging to Calvert ; this claim is now accepted by most scholars.

Then Heinrich Schliemann popularized his excavations at Hissarlik, which he and others believed to be Troy, and of the Mycenaean cities of Greece.

Their conclusion was that there is regularly a consistency between the location of Troy as identified by Schliemann ( and other locations such as the Greek camp ), the geological evidence, and descriptions of the topography and accounts of the battle in the Iliad.

Schliemann was at first skeptical about the identification of Hissarlik with Troy, but was persuaded by Calvert and took over Calvert's excavations on the eastern half of the Hissarlik site, which was on Calvert's property.

The Pushkin Museum is still a main depositary of Troy's fabulous gold looted from Troy by the German archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann and taken by the Soviet Army ( Red Army ) from the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.

Singer Rio Reiser usually told journalists the name was taken from a description by pioneer archeologist Heinrich Schliemann of what he saw when he first came to the site of ancient Troy.

The Prussian collections became separated during the Cold War during the division of the city, but were reunited after German reunification, except for the art and artefacts removed after World War II by Allied troops and not yet returned ; these include the Priam's Treasure, also called the gold of Troy, excavated by Heinrich Schliemann in 1873, then smuggled out of Turkey to Berlin and today kept at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

* December 26: Heinrich Schliemann, German archaeologist, excavator of Troy ( born 1822 ).

In 1876, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann uncovered ruins at Hissarlik in western Asia Minor ( modern-day Turkey ) that he claimed were those of Troy.

* The Greek Treasure ( 1975 )-based on the discovery of Troy by Heinrich Schliemann

The books contain extensive bibliographies, for the story, the setting and historical Troy, drawing on the excavation work Heinrich Schliemann ( et al.

In 1865, English archaeologist Frank Calvert excavated trial trenches in a field he had bought from a local farmer at Hisarlık, and in 1868, Heinrich Schliemann, wealthy German businessman and archaeologist, also began excavating in the area after a chance meeting with Calvert in Çanakkale.

This site was excavated by Heinrich Schliemann in 1884-1885, and is the subject of ongoing excavations by the German Archaeological Institute at Athens and the University of Heidelberg.

Circle A, excavated by Heinrich Schliemann enclosed fewer but extraordinarily well provided graves.

* Heinrich Schliemann ( 1820-1890 ), a German archaeologist who excavated Troy and Mycenaean civilizations, could speak German, English, French, Dutch, Italian, Portugese, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Greek, Latin, Russian, Arabic, and Turkish.

He states also that Atreus stored his treasures in an underground chamber there, which is why Heinrich Schliemann named the largest tholos tomb the Treasury of Atreus.

Dörpfeld realized that the site was a " tholos " tomb, and not the " Treasury of Atreus ," as Schliemann claimed.

In 1880-1886, Heinrich Schliemann's excavations ( H. Schliemann, Orchomenos, Leipzig 1881 ) revealed the tholos tomb he called the " Tomb of Minyas ", a Mycenaean monument that equalled the " Tomb of Atreus " at Mycenae itself.

The " Mask of Agamemnon " which was discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in 1876 at Mycenae ( whether it represents an individual, and if so, whom, remains unknown )</ center >

Schliemann got to work again at Hissarlik in 1878, and greatly increased our knowledge of the lower strata, but did not recognize the Aegean remains in his " Lydian " city of the sixth stratum.

But by laying bare in 1884 the upper stratum of remains on the rock of Tiryns, Schliemann made a contribution to our knowledge of prehistoric domestic life which was amplified two years later by Christos Tsountas's discovery of the palace at Mycenae.

Unsuccessful attempts at Cnossus were made by both W. J. Stillman and H. Schliemann, and A. J. Evans, coming on the scene in 1893, travelled in succeeding years about the island picking up trifles of unconsidered evidence, which gradually convinced him that greater things would eventually be found.

Sophia Schliemann ( née Engastromenos ) wearing treasures recovered at Hisarlik.

The ' Mask of Agamemnon ', discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in 1876 at Mycenae now exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.

Schliemann later admitted fabricating it ; at the time of the discovery Sophia was in fact with her family in Athens, following the death of her father.

The frieze circling the outside of the mausoleum shows Schliemann conducting the excavations at Mycenae and other sites.

The excavations of Heinrich Schliemann at Hisarlik in the late 19th century provided initial evidence to scholars that there was an historical basis for the Trojan War.

* Heinrich Schliemann begins excavation at Mycenae.

In 1876 Heinrich Schliemann started a complete excavation at the site.

Schliemann had planned to excavate at Knossos, but died before fulfilling that dream.
