edit, might as well give some more since there are problems here. There was an defensive ditch, but it was too small for a town that developed, most of the weapons found are arrows while Homerus talks of spears being the main weapons, also, they arrowheads are of different materials, bronze but also bone which suggests several battles in several periods.

But two things remain,

- Troy existed
- A battle has taken place
Maybe,it did happen,
