[92] For the further and most interesting discoveries which speedily led Dr. Schliemann to recal this conjecture, and which have affected all previous theories about the ages of stone and bronze, see the beginning of [Chapter IV].
[93] The stone implements here described are so similar in form to the better-made objects of the same sort, exhibited in subsequent illustrations, that it seems superfluous to engrave them here.—[Ed.]
[94] This depth of 10 meters, or 33 feet, is that which Dr. Schliemann came to regard as the lower limit of the ruins of the true heroic Troy. The depth of 7 meters, or 23 feet, presently mentioned is the upper limit of the same stratum. (See the Introduction and the later Memoirs.)—[Ed.]
[95] These, like all the objects of copper found at Troy, are coated with verdigris and malachite. (Letter-press to the Atlas.)
[96] See [Plate LI]., No. 496. Comp. [Chapter IX]., p. 138. This is one of the most important of the inscriptions determined to be such by Professor Gomperz. It has six characters. (See the Appendix.)
[97] This is given on [Plate XXII]., No. 326, from the Photograph, and more accurately from M. Burnouf’s drawing on [Plate XLVIII]., No. 482. Dr. Schliemann supposed that it bore an inscription; but he afterwards recalled the opinion. (See [Chapter IX]., p. 137.)—{Ed.}
[98] These cups, as already observed, are really covers of vases, the “coronet” being the upper, instead of the under part.—[Ed.]
[99] In these the Author afterwards recognized moulds for casting instruments and ornaments of copper. (See [Chapter IX].)—{Ed.}
