To supplement the terrestrial pictures illustrating the Troia VI / VII settlement west of the citadel some quite recent aerial photographs, dated August 24, 2001, are offered. For orientation please refer to the plan of July 2001.
A comment
by Prof.Korfmann to these pictures:
"If you
also believe, that these large stone houses are `fiction´, that we
portray a `completely absurd scenario´ here, in short we are
`misleading the public´ and that excavations outside the citadel
walls at most indicate a`loose settlement by little huts, stables or farmsteads´
manifested by `single scattered postholes´ then please look us up
at Troia. In the aerial photo of August 24 you can see solid stonefoundations
of a large building complex with an area reserved for large storage vessels
(pithoi), dated c 1200 BC. It was destroyed by a fire. By the way: starting
immediately all visitors to Troia find a marked path to these houses without
our guidance."
The images are about 60 KB each.

The uncovered Troia VI / VII-houses are located in the area of the north
arrow, in the center the Troia VI-architecture uncovered earlier lies under
the Hellenistic / Roman structures.
