The first fortress at Troy (Troy I) was built around this time - it started as a Neolithic settlement situated in the plain near the river Scamander. A fortress on the hill of Hisarlik was subsequently built in the early copper age, and later excavated by Heinrich Schiliemann. The fortress is surrounded by a stone wall about 100 metres in diameter. The most elaborate buildings, probably the dwelling of the ruler, were built on stone foundations with brick walls. One of these exhibits the structure of a hall - the megaron that was later to become prominent in Greece. Copper was used and polished black pottery was made. It is likely gold and silver were used for drinking vessels for the chiefs. Trojan settlements in Lesbos and Lemnos were founded.
