	Living - The Cincinnati Post
		Archaeologist Carl Blegen sometimes joked that if he accomplished nothing else in his distinguished career, he at least dispelled once and for all the persistent myth that the bathtub was invented in Cincinnati.
		Blegen's findings, published in a landmark 11-volume work, revised the findings of German Heinrich Schliemann, a businessman and amateur archaeologist who in the 1870s found demolished houses that he theorized resulted from the Greeks' decade-long siege of Troy.
		In his research, Blegen concluded that the level that he unearthed, where the city's walls still stood, was the Troy of Homer.

	Carl Blegen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carl William Blegen (born January 27, 1887, Minneapolis, Minnesota; died August 24, 1971 Athens, Greece) was an archaeologist famous for his work on the site of Troy in modern day Turkey.
		Blegen was professor of classical archaeology at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio (1927–57).
		Blegen earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in 1904 and started graduate studies at Yale University in 1907.

	Pylos
		Pylos in Messenia, on the western coast of the Peloponnese, was the capital of Nestor, the elderly statesman in the league headed by Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, against Priam, king of Troy, and his allies.
		And to Blegen’s great satisfaction Pylos was found repeatedly mentioned on the tablets retrieved from the palace he identified as Nestor’s.
		The palace presented Blegen and his collaborators with problems not unlike those that were to occupy him later at Troy.

		Blegen's dig at Troy lasted seven seasons, 1932-38, and become known as a landmark in archaeology, as it was the first time that an Aegian bronze-age dig was adequately photographed.
		On Troy VI, Blegen stood in contrast to Dorpfeld by suggesting that the destruction of its' walls was the work of a natural disaster instead of Agamemnon's army in what would be the Trojan War.
		Blegen contributed much to the body of theory around the excavation of Troy, and his findings were greeted by appraisal from the classical community.

	UC Classics Department - About the Department
		Blegen had served as assistant director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, where he had already acquired a substantial reputation as a leading student of prehistoric Greece.
		Blegen did, however, continue to direct excavations at the Palace of Nestor at Pylos on behalf of the University with the sponsorship of the department until his death in 1971.
		She was first associated with thedepartment in 1927 and had already assisted Blegen with the preparation of the publication of the excavations at Prosymna.

		Stocker and her husband, Jack L. Davis, UC's Carl W. Blegen Professor of Greek Archaeology, invited Paul Halstead, senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield (England) to study the 30 kilograms of animal skeleton fragments found in the basement of the Archaeological Museum of Hora near Pylos.
		Blegen was a world-renowned archaeologist who discovered the Bronze Age Palace of Nestor and several hundred clay tablets bearing Linear B script.
		However, Blegen died before he could publish all the results of his excavations at Pylos, where a statue stands in his honor outside the museum.

	The Mycenaean and Geometric Age
		The cemetery was ascribed by Blegen to the Mycenaean Age, in round numbers, from -1600 to -1200.
		In the absence of a more reasonable answer to the startling state of things Blegen, as we have seen, arrived at the conclusion that the eighth or seventh century inhabitants of the place were devotees of an ancestors' cult.

		Blegen's published plan of the palace consists of broad, fl lines representing a schema of walls that form the rooms, corridors, magazines and other spaces of whole and partially preserved buildings.
		The "robber's" trench underneath the northeast wall, Blegen named "The Chasm" because of its great depth and as a way to characterize the location of a number of Linear B tablets (along with a coin of Venetian date).
		Blegen treated this hydraulic network essentially as a construction contemporary with the LH IIIB palace, only occasionally inferring an earlier date for a selection of drains.

		That day, Carl Blegen, Stocker's predecessor at the University of Cincinnati, was digging an exploratory trench through an olive grove when one of his workmen lifted a clay tablet from the soil.
		For many archaeologists since Blegen, the details of that collapse and the often-mundane lives of the people who lived through it are of far more interest than their romantic echoes in the Iliad and the Odyssey.
		To Carl Blegen, the barrels and boxes, bones and potsherds, that he packed off to the storeroom in Hora were just table scraps from an archaeological feast—carefully excavated, dutifully noted, and then forgotten.

	Archaeopaedia: issues of chronology at Knossos
		Blegen noticed that the Linear B scripts found on tablets in both Minoan contexts on Crete and in Mycenaean contexts on the mainland are extremely similar, exhibiting little variation in character form or style.
		Like Palmer, Blegen suggested that the contexts of Knossos are not only difficult to interpret, but also that Evans was not careful enough in his excavations to be able to date his Linear B tablets so securely to the end of the 15th century BC.
		Blegen further argued that, in contrast, the contexts in which the mainland Mycenaean tablets were found are much simpler, much easier to interpret, and thus more securely dateable than those from Knossos.

	Pylos Project, 1995 AIA Report
		As Blegen determined, the bottom of the channel presently rises in both directions to a maximum height, marked in orange on the Minnesota State Plan.
		In the 1994 season we discovered that Blegen used the three-meter deep cavities within the grillage of walls at the Northwest Area as a place to dump washed but discarded pottery from his many years of excavation.
		In 1958 Blegen rebuilt these walls according to a theoretical scheme based, in part, on his identification of an adjacent raised dies as a sentry stand and on the assumption that the cavity followed the exterior perimeter of the original palace walls at the southeast and southwest.

	The American School of Classical Studies at Athens:
		Carl W. Blegen died August 24, 1971, bequeathing to the American School a large collection of documents, photographs, and memorabilia which had belonged to the inhabitants of 9 Plutarch St., namely, Blegen and his wife Elizabeth, and Bert Hodge Hill and Ida Thallon Hill.
		Blegen's notes on his leisure trip to Europe in 1913 can be compared to an account of the same trip in Emerson Swift's Youthful Rambles.
		Of particular interest are his political manuscripts which shed light on a little known facet of Blegen, that of his concern with the politics of Greece and her relations with the United States.

		This was also the conviction of Carl Blegen when in 1939 he came to Messenia to search the countryside for any sign of the ancient city of Pylos with Nestor’s famous palace, celebrated bv Homer.
		Blegen selected for his first dig a prominent hilltop, a short distance from the sea, which seemed to him eminently suitable to be the site of a royal palace; and really, as soon as he began to lift the earth from his first trench, extensive structures began to appear, and much pottery of Mycenaean time.
		Blegen dates the style “perhaps to the turn from the seventh to the sixth century.” The date may have to be revised upwards by a few decades on the basis of the work of J. Coldstream (Greek Geometric Pottery, London, 1968; p.

		Even Blegen at first found no reason to postulate any hiatus—in an article published soon after the completion of his excavations he put forward some of the new insights presented by his discoveries, outlining the areas where he found it necessary to differ with Dörpfeld’s scheme.
		Blegen’s final conclusions can be summarized as follows: after the destruction of the sixth settlement in an earthquake ca.

		Carl Blegen published limited information about post-palatial pottery; only "late Geometric" shards are discussed at any length in The Palace of Nestor.
		Since MARWP examined only material from Blegen's backfill, all pottery was out of context; therefore, shards have been identified and dated based solely by comparison with analogous material.
		Medieval pottery included the types mentioned by Blegen, as well as further examples of both plain and glazed ware, most of which can be dated to the 12th and 13th centuries.
