Tell Halif, Field I, Stratum VIIIA, Locus A11020.

Locus A11020 is a platform constructed of loess and clay. The platform material was apparently laid down in many layers and contains numerous lenses of ash along with stone, bone, charred material. Located 4.0 m. from the West balk and 5.0 m. from the North balk at top level 486.07 m. below L. A11015, A11013, A11017, A11018, A11025, A11028, A110027, A11029, and A11033, to bottom levels 484.62 m. (NW), 484.48 m. (SE) above A11032, A11047. A number of pits cut this platform--A11013, A11017, A110027, foundation trench A11018, and the foundation trench for bin A11028. The platform was built in succeeding phases. At one phase wall A11032 (probably a low retaining wall) and installation steps A11035 were cut into the platform material; later additional platform material was laid on top of this wall. In addition bin A11022 was cut into the platform by means of foundation trench A11018. Surface A11031 was also set on the platform at one phase of its growth, and bin A11029 was built into/onto the platform. This platform in Area All is identical to the platform in Areas 11, Al0, 10, A9, 9. Includes now A11037, A11039, and A11048, which have been canceled
