This volume focuses on the reconstruction of household organization
during the Iron II period at Tell Halif. It centers in particular
on one four-room, pillared-type building located in Area F7 of
Field IV and on its remains, which were sealed in a massive
destruction that eclipsed the site in the late eighth century
B.C.E. This study was first prepared as a Ph.D. dissertation for
the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona
(Hardin 2001) and has since been amplified and embellished by
further research. Published here are the results of research
deliberately designed by the author to provide for more complete
recovery and detailed recording in the field of all artifacts and
other remains within a special refined three-dimensional grid
matrix. These data in turn established a framework for studying the
formation processes active on the materials and for conducting a
spatial analysis of the assemblages in the building. Along with
developing ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological inferences, these
techniques are used to identify activities, activity areas, and
social organization related to the building, ultimately defining an
"archaeological household" consisting of the pillared dwelling and
its occupants. Finally, these conclusions are also related to
reconstructions of the Iron II-period household suggested by Hebrew
Bible sources.
