Ilios; the city and country of the TrojansThe results of researches and discoveries on the site of Troy and throughout the Troad in the years 1871-72-73-78-79, including an autobiography of the author .

Only two urns of this identicalform were found, at a depth of from 26 to28 ft., of which we can be pretty certain thatthey belong to the third or burnt city. Theclosest analogy to these vases is afforded bya lustrous-red hand-made vase found on theisland of Thera (Santorin), below the strataof pumice-stone and volcanic ashes, and pre-served in the collection of the French Schoolhere at Athens.
