Megaron hearth at the citadel of Pylos.

Due to the uniformity of citadel plans throughout the Mycenaean civilization, we can get an idea of how the hearth of the megaron at Tiryns looked by
comparing it to its counterpart at Pylos. The holes at the corners of the surrounding square once held wooden columns.
