Locus K8002 consists of destruction debris containing burnt brick fragments, charred beams, and pebble to cobble-sized stones. Located between 1.00 m. and 4.50 m. from the North balk and between 1.00 m. and 4.75 m. from the East balk at top levels 481.73 m. (E), 482.32 m. (W) below dedris K8001 to bottom level 480.77 m. above Surfaces K8003 and K8015. Also above wall K8014. Runs to the west face of Wall K8006, the south face of Wall K8007,to Pillars K8004 and K8005, both faces of Wall K8014.

Much of the materials recovered in K8002 appear to have originated in the second story of the Iron II pillared house exposed in Areas K8 and L8. A saddle quern found in the southern half of the balk between K8 and L8 may have also fallen from the upper floor, judging from the charred beams on top of which the quern rested. Next to it was found a large krater. Also in the South balk was found an oil lamp with other vessels which might also have come from the upper floor. Loomweights and implements related to grinding, all of which were found in L. K8002, show that many domestic activities took place on the second floor or roof of this house.
