Publications

July-August issue of "Archaeology" asks: "Is Schliemann Mask a Fake?" Some scholars, noting that "Mask of Agamemnon" is significantly different from the others found at the site, contend that Schliemann had some of the features added to make the mask appear more heroic to viewers of his day.
