Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890) was an archaeologist who excavated Troy, Mycenae? and Tiryns?, lending material weight to Homer'sIliad as reflecting historical events.
His 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. His excavations were largely well done by the standards of his time.
