The Troad

The site identified as Troy, setting for the Trojan War in Greek legendary tradition, is located in north-western Anatolia, in the region of the Classical Troad. It lay on the Asian side of the strait called the Dardanelles, Classical Hellespont, on the mound now known as Hisarlık (Turkish ‘fortress’). Settlement there extended almost without interruption from the beginning of M3 bc through much of M1 ad, as established by three main series of excavations: (1) seven campaigns by Heinrich Schliemann between 1871 and 1890, followed by two further campaigns by Schliemann’s associate Wilhelm Dörpfeld (1893 and 1894); (2) campaigns by Carl Blegen on behalf of the University of Cincinnati, 1932 to 1938; (3) campaigns by teams from the University of Tübingen, led initially by Manfred Korfmann, from 1988 onwards. By the end of his final season, Schliemann had identified nine major levels on the mound, each of which was divided into a number of sub-levels (more than forty) with a total height of over 20 m.
