	Heinrich Schliemann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heinrich Schliemann (January 6, 1822 – December 26, 1890) was a German classical archaeologist, an advocate of the historical reality of places mentioned in the works of Homer, and an important excavator of Mycenaean sites, such as Troy, Mycenae and Tiryns.
		Heinrich was born at Neubukow, in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, to Ernst Schliemann, a poor Protestant minister, and Luise Therese Sophie.
		Schliemann's career began before archaeology developed as a professional field, and so, by present standards, the field technique of Schliemann's work leaves a lot to be desired.

		Schliemann had hoped to find--and believed he had found--the tombs of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and he published his finds in his Mykenä (1878; "Mycenae").
		It is not surprising that Schliemann was at first puzzled by what he found, but, eventually, with the assistance of Dörpfeld, he was able to untangle the stratigraphy.

	Behind the Mask of Agamemnon
		Schliemann was speaking the truth; the businessman-turned-archaeologist had shown that Homer's epics may have been based in fact.
		Schliemann next turned his attention to Mycenae, where the ancient geographer Pausanias had located the grave of Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek assault on Troy, and his fellow soldiers.
		While Schliemann's diary and newspaper and book accounts of the location and dates of his discoveries in the shaft graves are often vague and contradictory, it is clear that by the end of November he had excavated tombs containing the bodies of several Mycenaean chieftains, five of whom wore gold face masks.

		Heinrich Schliemann, a business man turned archaeologist, is universally referred to as the most controversial excavator at Troy, with harsh criticism attacking his methods, theories, morals, and the validity of his artifacts.
		Further distrust for Schliemann and his findings was reinforced by his false claim that his wife was present at the excavation (when, in fact, she was thousands of miles away).
		The criticisms of Heinrich Schliemann are numerous; however, despite his faults and his overzealous approach to his excavations at Troy, he did lead the way and, in some respects, make possible the overwhelming amount of valuable research conducted at Troy since.

		In his contribution on Schliemann's Mausoleum in the central cemetery in Athens (31-50), Hammer-Schenk explores the architecture and the various iconographic motifs of the frieze to show that Schliemann wanted to be regarded as a hero, and so while still alive made provision for an appropriate monument in which to be buried.
		Nor does Easton anywhere explain that Schliemann was the first individual to excavate a prehistoric mound in that part of the world, and at the same time one with a very complex stratigraphy.
		It is essentially the Schliemann of 1874, i.e., Schliemann at the very beginning of his career, not the Schliemann who by the time of his death, after 20 years of experience, had greatly matured in respect of his methods and interpretation of the evidence.

		July 22, 2003 12:57 PM Prior to Heinrich Schliemann's excavations in 1871, the academic world held that the city of Troy had never existed; it was just a tale in a book; as silly to search for as Utopia or Robinson Crusoe’s Island.
		As for Schliemann, it's hard to say whether his efforts, with their obsession and self-promotion, were a good thing in the end or not.
		Mrs Schliemann's photograph was published in all the world's newspapers dressed in the jewellery they thought might once have adorned the fair face of Helen of Troy rather than the austere features of a German banker's wife.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.9.28 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Thus at the end of his first decade of excavation, Schliemann is not portrayed before the reader as having discovered anything important in the way of archaeology, nor of having written anything significant on the subject, but as a clumsy and ridiculous host at an event that has nothing whatever to do with archaeology.
		In fact, there Schliemann's mind was actually on other things (by inference), for hardly had the excavation finished but what we find him in Havana: "as I have 35,000 pounds sterling invested in two railroads and the current situation in Cuba makes me nervous" (written to [of course] Virchow: making them both look ridiculous).
		Anyone who is prepared to claim that, had Schliemann lived to the end of the 1894 campaign, he would still have persisted in regarding Troy II as Homer's Troy, either does not know Schliemann or is perverse.

		Schliemann went to Mycenae in 1876 and began to excavate there.
