Ægean archæeology; an introduction to the archæeology of prehistoric Greece . ed for their colonial fortifications;then, in the Late Minoan (Middle and Late My-cenaean) period the fine architectural style which wesee earlier in the North Gate of Knossos was used bythe Mycenaeans, now entirely Aegean in their culture, for the building of fortifications, as we see at Troy. Wesee that the Sixth City shews us rather more than mereMinoan or Mycenaean influence in the north-east- corner of the Aegean. Its whole style of building is 140 AEGEAN ARCHAEOLOGY Minoan, though the few houses of the city which wereleft to be discovered after Schhemanns wholesale un-covering of the Second City below are rather conti-nental Mycenaean than Minoan in style, as we shouldexpect. The walls are Minoan, and are among thegreat relics of Minoan or Aegean architecture. Theknowledge of ashlar masonry was evidently broughtthere by the Mycenaeans. The great walls were builtin the most solid way possible, with a batter decreasingin angle in two stages in the lower part, the top being •SBWWt.

The contour of the 30-feethigh wall, with its twice broken line, is compared byDorpfeld to that of the Eiffel Tower.^ It was strength-ened by great hollow square towers, with wooden cross-fioors within (Fig. 48), and by prow-like bastions, ofwhich the North-East Tower is the finest specimen.The arrangementsof the gateswith theirnarrowpassagescommanded by two walls are like that at Tiryns; in onethe passage-way is curved (Fig. 49). These are no doubt typical Mycenaean town-walls of Ifoja u. Ilion, p. 149.

The people who could build palaces and walls in this fine fashion might well be conceived as using their
