Anatolia and the Eastern Aegean at the time of the Trojan War

Статья // In: Omera tremila anni dopo. — Roma, 2002. — Pp. 343-385."The title of my paper implies some sort of answer to a number of basic questions, which have always been the core of the so-called Homeric archaeology. Did the Trojan War ever take place? When and where did it take place? At which time within the (largely unreliable) range of dates preserved in later Greek tradition for the war (1334-1184 BC), the Mycenaeans would have been able to set up the joint expedition described in Greek epic poetry? If we accept that the war took place at Hissarlik, with which destruction level at the site can it be equated? Was the destruction in question caused by human agency and can it be attributed to Mycenaean attackers? Of course, it is not my intention to discuss all these issues. I will deal only with those relevant to the subject of my paper."
