Le plan de l'établissement évolue constamment et devient plus régulier pendant les cinq siècles suivants (Troie II-V) jusqu'à la fin de l'âge du Bronze ancien. Vers 2000 avant J.-C., un bouleversement culturel entraîne la reconstruction en pierre des maisons et des murs. La ville se développe considérablement au-delà de ses limites d'origine et Troie VI (à partir de 1700 environ avant J.-C.) aurait même couvert l'ensemble du plateau, pour en faire l'une des villes les plus importantes de la région égéenne.

Human occupation on the site of Troy began in the early Bronze Age. The first defensive wall round the citadel was built around 3000 BC. Then Troy VI expanded, making it one of the largest towns in the Aegean region with an important trading role. An earthquake in 1350 BC caused grave damage to Troy VI, but the town quickly recovered and was rebuilt in a more orderly layout.
