KORFMANN FOUND: * Arrowheads - Close range fighting * Slingshots - If defenders won the battle they would have been given to shepherds fact that they were chucked away meant attackers saw no need in taking them back with them. * Hence he believes that Troy lost the battle: * "It was a city that was besieged. It was a city that defended itself. They lost the war and were obviously defeated" - Korfmann
