Due to a series of discoveries, Leonard and others could basically confirm that the historic ruins were indeed the legendary Troy, and during the excavation of the most prosperous Layer 6 ruins, they also identified a characteristic of city construction.
This characteristic was that Troy, precisely because it was located at the junction of two civilizations, exhibited architectural remnants that were distinct from both the castles of the Aegean world and the craftsmanship of the Hittites.
For example, the construction techniques of the City Wall ruins, tightly joined limestone stones, and the unique upward-sloping wall structure all seemed to reflect the indigenous architectural style of the northwest region of Anatolia.
This style had persisted in Hissarlick for several centuries, and this style was also found previously in the ancient city of Phrygian at Godion (Gordion).
