Week 5: Kathryn: Schliemann vs. Evans
After reading about Heinreich Schliemann and Arthur Evans, I began to think about their impact on the archaeological world. I feel that despite the controversy surrounding some of their excavation techniques, they made important contributions to the scientific community. It's clear that both of these men truly loved what they were doing, and they were trying to uncover treasures of the past for the world to study and appreciate. I wonder what Schliemann's feelings were towards Evans during their lifetimes and if he would be upset now knowing that Evan's reputation has fared better over the years than his?
