Traces of the Trojan War
In the area where excavations are ongoing, it is aimed to determine the existence of an area similar to a city square from the Late Bronze Age. Excavation Director Aslan emphasizes that the work continues to support the thesis that Homer’s Troy was a lower city. The team, which aims to reach archaeological data from the Trojan War, is meticulously working to unearth traces of the past.
