Greeks sailed into ancient Trojan bay

From Boston, at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America.

Around 1250 B.C., a Greek force beached its warships on the shores of Asia Minor and laid siege to the city of Troy. On nearby land, geologists have discerned the outline of a former bay that has filled with silt since the conflict. Aided by classical literature, they’ve now charted where the attackers came ashore.
