W J Stullman argues in a London Times letter that bricks mortar and mosaics at the Tiryns palace contradict Pelasgic origin and cite Byzantine remains on the hill. He asserts evidence from Greek sites shows stone saws and tubular drills date to early classical times and promises further proofs linking Troy to Crasus and Tiryns.
