Bronze Age Trojan artefacts in Poland: some remarks

Dariusz Maliszewski Anatolian Studies 62 (2012): 61-68.

Abstract

This article focuses on several overlooked assemblages of the Bronze Age artefacts from Troy brought to light by H. Schliemann and W. Dörpfeld. It briefly presents the complicated history and partition of duplicate artefacts from the Berlin collection and their donation to many European institutions after Schliemann’s death. The article discusses five such collections in modern-day Poland. Schmidt’s 1902 Berlin catalogue gives an overview of what types of object were sent to which institution, but gives no clear indication of the quantities involved. The present article tries to rectify that, and to present the information systematically institution by institution, with later documentation where available.
