This is the construction cut for wall 2274. On the North, it cuts the earlier, pre-cocciopesto floor surface (SU not yet assigned or documented). South of the wall, the cut and its fill are not visible. The two fills of this cut (2343 and 2350) were, upon their excavation, determined to be homogenous and equivalent. In the area of the threshold of room C7 from the atrium (the gap between walls 2260 and 2274), the southern limit of this cut was most likely obliterated by later activity, at least in part (e.g. the deposition of SU 2335).
