  Frank Calvert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank was the youngest of seven children born to James Calvert (1778-1852), of Malta, and Louisa Ann Lander (1792-1867).
Frank remained unmarried, quiet and unassuming, he nevertheless had an enduring passion for the Homeric legends and a firm belief that the myths were history, not fiction.

 Calvert's Heirs Claim Schliemann Treasure
British and American heirs of Frank Calvert, the British field archaeologist and diplomat who preceded Heinrich Schliemann as excavator of Troy (see ARCHAEOLOGY, May/June 1995) are planning to file a claim to a portion of Schliemann's Trojan treasures.
Frederick Calvert of London, great-grandson of Frank Calvert's elder brother Frederick, says the claim would apply to that portion of the treasures found on his family's land.
The Calvert heirs also say that since Frank Calvert was not privy to all the finds and their locations, and since Schliemann's documentation was at times suspect, they have a claim to other treasures (as yet unspecified) that they believe were not divided equally with Calvert.

She offers a fascinating portrait of British expatriate life in Ottoman, Turkey, during the mid-nineteenth century as well as sharp insight into the complex shape of the Calvert family, whose political and social interests were virtually monopolized by its archaeological explorations and antiquarian aesthetics.
Concentrating in particular on Frank Calvert's development as a scholar-archaeologist, Allen shows the whole shape of Calvert's life and explorations.
In the ensuing rivalry between Schliemann and Calvert, the latter naïvely expected Schliemann to honor his efforts in the work toward the discovery.

 Warrior 2: Excavations at Troy
Frank Calvert and his two brothers were Englishmen, businessmen who also held some diplomatic posts.
What happened was this: Frank Calvert disproved several abiding theories about the location of the city of Troy and instead focused his attention on a hill called Hisarlik, visible here on the left as it was before Calvert and on the right as it appeared about 15-20 years ago from closer up.
Calvert did some preliminary excavations and felt sure this was the site of Troy, but he could not get money from the British Museum to fund a full excavation.

But a book by a UC alumna is spreading the truth to a wider audience, placing the distinction of locating Troy with the archaeologist who first excavated it: Frank Calvert, a British "gentleman" and archaeologist, who began digging at the site in 1863.
She reports that once Calvert had proved to himself the significance of the site, he approached the British Museum for funding in 1863, offering in exchange all the artifacts that would be uncovered.
Schliemann then stole Calvert's ideas and relentlessly promoted himself as the man who first uncovered the walls of Troy although he did not begin to dig there until 1870, she said.

Frank Calvert had lived in the Troadin the northwest corner of Asia Minorexcavating there for fifteen years before Schliemann arrived and learning the local topography well.
The thankless Schliemann stole Calvert's ideas, exploited his knowledge and advice, and finally stole Calvert's glory, in part by slandering him and denigrating his work.
And while Calvert may deserve our sympathy, Schliemann's every action, every move and every THOUGHT is described in the most possible light, often without presenting hard evidence.

 SCHLIEMANN AND THE TREASURE
Frank Calvert, an Englishman who acted as American vice-consul for the Dardanelles, had done some preliminary digging at Hisarlik.
In a letter to Safvet Pasha, the Turkish minister of Culture, he tried to explain that he was not a “treasure hunter.” His only desire was to prove that the city of Troy was be­neath the mound at Hisarlik.
Meanwhile Frank Calvert had ob­tained from the two Turkish landowners a verbal promise that they would sell their prop­erty to Schliemann for 1000 francs.

Calvert had already proposed the mound at Hisarlik as the most likely site, but, owing to reversals in family fortunes, was unable to undertake major excavations.
Allen describes the contributions of Schliemann and Calvert to the Troy work and brings the story of archaeological activity at the site up to the present, illustrating the tale with many maps, photographs and drawings.
Calvert's role has been obscured, she says, because--in contrast to Schliemann--he was "a self-effacing, private person," and "only the occasional letter offers details of his unpublished achievements, the manuscripts for which rarely have been found."
