T1 - The intercultural context of treasure A in Troy - Jewellery and textiles N2 - At the end of May 1873, Heinrich Schliemann recovered Treasure A in Troy. He brought all the metal artifacts illegally to Athens and published his iscoveries one year later. Then he bequeathed the Trojan finds to Berlin where from 1881 onwards, Treasure A was exhibited in the Museum of Arts and Crafts (later Gropius Bau). Hubert. Schmidt inventoried and catalogued the Trojan remains in 1902 without the so-called “Dubletten” (duplicates). The transfer of the Treasure trove in 1945 to former Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and Moscow is well known, but there was a partial restoration of the looted art from the former Soviet Union back to the former GDR: eight out of eleven silver vessels of Treasure A came via Leipzig in 1979 finally back to Berlin’s Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte, Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz in 1994. During its safe keeping in Leningrad and Leipzig, these silver jars remained ignored in the boxes in which they were transported, a Situation, which today permits them to be investigated almost in their condition of discovery. The study of the Originals allowed Information to be gleaned about their manufacture and offered opportunities for various analyses. After the gold jewellery came to light, technical data and an archaeological appraisal of the Trojan gold kept in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow could be published in 1996. The considerable quantity of the outstanding gold artifacts of Treasure A was deposited inside the great silver vessel Sch 5873 and listed by Heinrich Schliemann.
