Since 1989 the Department of Classics has been a partner with the University of Tübingen in the excavation of Troy. Professor Brian Rose leads the team, which is responsible for all archaeological information related to the Greek, Roman, and later levels of this city. The journal Studia Troica remains the best source for information on the Tübingen/Cincinnati excavations.
