> he encouraged Schliemann to pick up where he left off
Yeah, like Schliemann arrived, dismissed Calvert suggestions that it was Troy, and when finally convinced, cheated, stole and took all credit for discoveries from Calvert despite Calvert owning half of the land of the mound and sorting out a ton of practical matters for him (Calvert was consul and well established in the area).
