Unearth Troy

Equipped with modern technology, a group of archaeologists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) decided to launch a new poll in one of the most famous ancient cities.

'Our goal is to find a new layer of information to complement the data warehouse we already know about Troy,' said Professor William Aylward. The immortal ancient citadel of Homer's Iliad is now in western Turkey, and was discovered in the 1870s thanks to the work of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann.

Since then, expert groups have been taking turns to survey the area periodically, but so far less than a fifth of Troy has been studied.'Our plan is to expand to an area that has never been surveyed, systematically deploy new technologies to gather more information about people who have resided there thousands of years ago.' , expert Aylward said.

Humans began to live in Troy from the early days of the Bronze Age, but modern people still do not know much about the prehistoric period of Troy. And that's what Aylward's team wants to explore.
