They still found the city of Troy, but if Schliemann had not teamed up with Calvert would the lost city of Troy still be discovered without much damage to the ruins? Possibly, but back in 1871, technology wasn’t as advanced as it its now. Also, not much was known about archaeology for in Lost Cities, Lost Treasures it states, “Archaeology was still a young science in the 1800s,”. For the time (and probably anytime in the Earth’s time continuum),
