William Aylward, professor of ILS and Classics, will be returning to Troy in western Turkey with three UW students for his 14th summer at the international research project at Troy, directed by the University of Tübingen.
While in Turkey he will also participate in research on monumental architecture at Ephesos and in study of a Hellenistic shipwreck near ancient Claros, where marble freshly quarried for a temple of Apollo there sank before reaching the harbor.
Aylward’s report on the shipwreck, co-authored with the project director, is forthcoming in the “American Journal of Archaeology.”
