Clean, otherwise unmarked, tight and solid volume. Susan Heuck Allen puts the record straight and restores the British archaeologist Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of Troy. Calvert had lived in the Troad and excavated there for fifteen years before the arrival of Schliemann , and he had learned the local topography and stratigraphy. He was the first to hypothesize that the mound there would be a good place to look for the Troy of Hector and Helen. This is the story of Calvert's 'century of oblivion' and Schliemann' s thankless exploitation of Calvert. Now at long last Susan Heuck Allen puts the record straight, and restores the British archaeologist Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of the city of Priam. 409 page. 8vo. 1998, Univ of California Press.
