Now we can take a look to the left, relative to the picture before. The palaces VIE and VIF each have only one interior room of 64 and 98 sq.m. respectively. Their outer walls are one metre thick and are oriented radially towards a point at the centre of the citadel, producing buildings that are trapezoidal in plan. Within the west wall of Palace VIF are recesses which once held wooden beams. On the floor are some stone bases for pillars. The room had two entrances. The retaining-wall of VIF displays an advanced technique of construction which dates it to the end of the Troia VI period (c. 1400-1250 BCE). This wall, too, exhibits the “offset” technique. Buildings VIE and VIF were separated by a passageway approximately one metre wide.
