Manfred Korfmann [SEP] cause of death
from excavations in Troy, he also turned to excavation in other places around the Black Sea, notably Didigora and Udabno in Georgia.
Manfred Korfmann died of lung cancer on August 11, 2005 at the age of 63 in his home in Ofterdingen near Tübingen. He hoped that the excavations would continue, and that the Turkish government would build a world-class museum near the site. He was survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
