After Schliemann's spectacular discoveries at Troy in 1873 and the ensuing court case brought against him by Turkey, he was prevented from excavating in Troy for several years. In 1876, he turned his attention to Mycenae and carried out excavations on the site from August to November with the resulting discovery of "Agamemnon's Treasure."
