Abstract

The 1992 and 1993 seasons at Tell Halif resulted in the excavation of Field IV, which has since spawned research on several of the houses found there. Units I7, I8, J7, and J8 have yet to be studied, reconstructed, and published. By analyzing the artifacts found primarily on the floors of the units relating to Stratum VIA and VIB (late 8th century B.C.E. destruction layer), I am determining the architecture that once stood there and its relation to the houses around it, such as the K8 house, through spatial analysis. By comparing the assemblages of units I7, I8, J7, and J8 to those in H7, H8, K7, and K8, I can reasonably reconstruct the building(s) that once stood there. Through my research, I have also assessed the dating of Strata VIA and VIB and their associated artifacts. This project aims to reconstruct the missing architecture of Stratum VIB in these units.
