ABSTRACT In the Iron Age II period of the southern Levant (1000–586 BCE), most data for household studies come from four-room or pillared houses. Tell Halif in southern Israel gives us several examples of the four-room pillared house, including the one identified here as the K8 House, from the eighth century. The purpose of this research is to examine the K8 archaeological remains and add to our understanding of Iron Age houses and households as reflected in the patterning of artefacts in the buildings occupied by the household. Based on the remains preserved in the K8 House, we can identify a set of activities undertaken regularly inside the house. It can be demonstrated from Tell Halif’s archaeological data that, once the specific activities are identified, their organisation also can be identified. In order to understand how space functioned in the K8 House at Tell Halif, a spatial analysis of the archaeological materials was undertaken. Ceramics and microartefacts discovered on floors and in the covering fill provide important sources of data serving to identify activities and helping to assess what type of reductions of the ‘de facto’ refuse may have taken place. The locations of artefacts in the K8 House help to identify activity areas within it.

K8 House：位于以色列泰尔哈利夫的铁器时代 II 的新住宅空间

摘要 在黎凡特南部的铁器时代 II 时期（公元前 1000-586 年），大多数家庭研究数据来自四居室或柱式房屋。以色列南部的 Tell Halif 为我们提供了几个四室柱式房屋的例子，包括这里被确定为八世纪的 K8 房屋。这项研究的目的是检查 K8 考古遗迹，并增加我们对铁器时代房屋和家庭的理解，这反映在家庭居住的建筑物中的手工艺品图案中。根据 K8 House 中保存的遗骸，我们可以确定房屋内定期进行的一系列活动。从 Tell Halif 的考古数据可以证明，一旦确定了具体活动，也可以确定其组织。为了了解 Tell Halif 的 K8 House 的空间是如何运作的，我们对考古材料进行了空间分析。在地板和覆盖物填充物中发现的陶瓷和微人工制品提供了重要的数据来源，用于识别活动并帮助评估可能发生的“事实上”垃圾的减少类型。K8 House 中文物的位置有助于确定其中的活动区域。
