It is difficult to determine the exact relationship this wall has with the rest of Room 8, but its ashlar construction suggests that it was a part of the earlier phases of this room. It also may serve as the southern wall for a small atrium/entrance to Room 8. It is unclear what relationship it has with 7348.

Room 8 interpretation: Similar to the tufo blocks in room 7, this room contains a tufo platform that serves the purpose of load-bearing (SU 7296). We believe this tufo block to be in phase with an ashlar block on the southern wall. Also similar to room 7, the cocciopesto floors displays a red tone, yet it in much more degraded condition. The cocciopesto floor appears to be at a higher elevation than room 7, after bedrock was discovered underneath the last course of 7268 during further cleaning. Due to the presence of this bedrock at such an elevation, it is possible that the bedrock caused the higher elevation of this room. Just like in room 7, in room 8 the tufo block is most likely in phase with the ashlar walls (SU 7267, 7268, 7304, 7318). Floor 7297 postdates the ashlar walls and the tufo block, but may be in the same phase. On the west and north wall, there are scant traces of plaster (SU 7267, 7268). The eastern wall, shared between room 7 and 8, is most likely part of the room's latest phase. In between wall 7267 and 7278 is a vertical cut that is similar in width to two other vertical cuts separating SU 7269 from SU 7278. These cuts could potentially be for a drainage feature. The southern limit seems to have been greatly disturbed and its transformation remains unclear. A concrete surface (SU 7348) covers much of the previous surface
