Allen, Susan Heuck
Finding the Walls of Troy : Frank Calvert and Heinrich Schliemann at Hisarlik
The relentlessly self-promoting amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann took full credit for discovering Homer's Troy over one hundred years ago, and since then generations have thrilled to the tale of his ambitions and achievements. But Schliemann gained this status as an archaeological hero partly by deliberately eclipsing the man who had launched his career. Now, at long last, Susan Heuck Allen puts the record straight in this fascinating archaeological adventure that restores the British expatriate Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of Hisarlk, the site now thought to be Troy as described in the Iliad. Frank Calvert had lived in the Troad--in the northwest corner of Asia Minor--excavating there for fifteen years before Schliemann arrived and learning the local topography well. Book

Traill, David A
Schliemann of Troy : Treasure and Deceit
" In Schliemann of Troy, classicist David Traill investigates the archaeologist's own legends, and argues convincingly that Schliemann regularly distorted facts in both his personal and professional lives. Basing his biography on a thorough reexamination of the vast collection of Schliemann papers in Athens and including many previously unpublished excerpts from his letters and diaries, Traill demonstrates that his subject was a remarkably unscrupulous and untruthful individual. At once a gripping portrait of a duplicitous man and a reinterpretation of some of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time, Schliemann of Troy shakes the dust off of the Schliemann corpus and rewrites one of history's most exciting chapters.365p+ Plares, maps, notes, plans, bibliography,index Book

Schliemann's Discoveries of the Ancient World, with an Appendix on the Trecent Discoveries at Hissarlik By Dr Schliemann Abd Dr.Dorpfeld, and an Introduction By Walter Leaf.
Originally published in 1891 as "Schliemann's Excavations : An Archaeological and Historical Study" this his book, which was written under Schliemann's supervision and was published shortly after his death, the dazzling accumulation of Schliemann's many findings has been systemized by Dr. Schuchhardt. He also updates them, as Schliemann uncovered so much and was a tireless worker that he sometimes did not know precisely what he had found. After a short description of Schliemann's life, Dr. Schuchhardt gives detailed accounts of Schliemann's discoveries at Troy, Tiryns, and Mycenae. The great treasures found at Troy and Mycenae are thoroughly described, as well as Schliemann's experimental method of unearthing them. All of these findings are illustrated by hundreds of illustrations, diagrams and maps, This is a facsimile of the US edition published by B. Blom NY,1971. xxxii,363p+ plates, illus. appendices index Crisp tight unmarked copy. DJ repaired now in plastic sleeve Book

Clark, Grahame
World Prehistory: A New Outline
A brief and stimulating outline of the prehistory of the whole world and the development of mankind in each part of the globe up to the time of recorded history. It starts at the beginning and shows how the distinctive civilizations of mankind, which now enrich human life, have emerged from a common prehistoric past. It does not set out to describe archaeological data, but rather to outline the story of humanity which archaeologists are now able to re-construct. It follows the vast spread and slow progress of human settlement, the growth of civilization and the beginnings of technology in various parts of the earth; a development so uneven that in some countries Professor Clark's story ends thousands of years ago, while in others we still find prehistoric peoples. 329p + plates, Neat tight student reading copy. a few underinings Book
