Document Summary
S. "s last excavation ever: was worried because his finds at troy were different than that at troy, no royal graves like in mycenae. Minyan ware: named after king minyas of orchomenos: very particular type of pottery, very recognizable, s. found this in mycenae and now troy. By digging inside the walls of troy, he had missed the great walls of troy vi (what he was looking for) Worst of all: he realized that in his hurry to get down to lowest level he had dug through and destroyed every level he was looking for. At first, s. refused to admit publicly that he had been wrong. Went to germany and has a successful surgery, he then went to italy. He was buried in the tomb he had built for himself: very big. Nothing was more important than what he wanted. A liar and dealt with his problems with money.
