EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the post-excavation scene at Hissalik, the site famously excavated by Heinrich Schliemann and identified as ancient Troy. The massive slice through the deposits made by Schliemann is clearly visible in this historical snapshot from 1871. The invasive nature of archaeology is evident in the landscape, with trenches and cuts revealing layers of history dating back centuries.
Schliemann's meticulous excavation work in Turkey between 1871 and 1873 uncovered sections of the ancient city of Troy, shedding light on a civilization long believed to be purely mythical. Hissarlik, as it was known locally, became synonymous with archaeological discovery thanks to Schliemann's groundbreaking efforts.
In this image, we see evidence of farmers working around the excavated site, highlighting the intersection between modern life and ancient history. The sheer scale of Schliemann's excavation can be appreciated from this perspective, showcasing his dedication to uncovering the secrets buried beneath the earth.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in archaeological exploration, where one man's determination forever changed our understanding of an iconic ancient city.
