Megaron Building.
This Megaron (building with a porch) of mudbrick was built directly inside the Citadel Wall. The Megaron was found with its walls still standing to a height of over 1,5 metres. Radiocarbon dating of barley corns found in the building show that is ceased being used between 2290 and 2200 BCE. Destroyed by fire, the Megaron is notable for a central round hearth measuring 1,2 metres in diameter. The walls were covered with white plaster and the imprint of reed matting is visible on the plastered floor. The wealth of finds made here indicates that at least part of it may have been used for cult purposes. More Megara buildings abut on this structure to the north but they have only been partially excavated. Since the alignment of this group of buildings deviates from that of Troia II , they evidently represent a later, transitional phase between Troia II and III.
A roof over this area built in summer 2003 makes the area accessible to the public while protecting it from the weather.
