Tell Halif, Field IV, Stratum VIB, Locus G8005.P. This Bowl was found on floor G8005 in a pillared building of Stratum VIB at Tell Halif.

Locus G8005.P consists of artifacts found in situ on cobbled surface G8005. This floor was constructed of small cobbles set into a matrix of dark ashy, silty soil, found below debris G8012 (N) and debris G8001 (S) and above debris G8005.1.

Floor G8005 runs to the south face of wall F8005, to the east face of wall G8002, the west face of wall G8006. The southern portion of floor G8005 was interrupted either by pitting or by erosion. Floor G8005 was covered with ashy destruction debris and with several whole and restoreable ceramic vessels, including ceramic incense stand G849D2. In addition, two carved and polished limestone blocks, one to the north and one to the south of the incense stand, were found on the floor, along with the head of a pillar figurine.
