The Trojan War in Homer and History - Recorded Books

although much of the academic community, and Bronze Age specialists in
particular, stood staunchly behind Korfmann, the debate remains unresolved.
Korfmann died suddenly in August 2005. With his death, Korfmann’s banner
has been taken up by his colleagues at Troy, Tübingen, Sheffield, and elsewhere.
The Bronze Age excavations at Troy conducted by the University of
Tübingen reportedly will be continuing, in the capable hands of Korfmann’s
assistant, Peter Jablonka, just as Wilhelm Dörpfeld took over from Heinrich
Schliemann more than a century ago.
