Their groundplan must have been similar to VI E and VIF. Thenorth corner and two pieces of the side wall of VI Qare preserved. The wall ran parallel to the city wall,and must have been a scarped retaining wall, thickerthan the others. Its masonry shows that the build-ing belonged to a later period of the VI City. Thebreadth of the inner room was about m. and itslength m. A broad ramp led from the Gate VI S,between the buildings VI Q and VI E, to the centerof the citadel. Close by the north corner of AI Q asingle wall is found belonging to a building which isdesignated VI P. All these buildings which we have descriljed—i. e., iDi)rpfeld, Troja nud Uion, p. 169. Ife.

One of its walls was injured by thegreat trench which was dug in 1882. The buildingconsists of a large hall m. long, and, in thewestern portion, m. broad. Whether it formeda trapezoid like VI E and VI F, with its greaterwidth on the east, cannot be determined, owing to thedestruction of the north wall. In front of the hallis a very small antechamljer facing the west. The ma-sonry of the foundation is of unwrought stone. Thewalls vary in thickness, as seen in tig. 30. The eastwall, which is the strongest, has a thickness of m., while the thickness of the side
