La maggior parte dei reperti, ceramici vitrei e metallici, provenendo dalle abbondanti stratigrafie alluvionali che hanno interessato il monumento sia in epoca antica che moderna, si trova in giacitura secondaria. Si tratta di materiale relativo all’uso funerario della catacomba, interpretato come corredo rituale e funzionale, ma anche proveniente dal sopraterra attraverso i lucernari, da un’area, com’è noto, oggetto di frequentazione dall’età romana fino a quella medievale. Lo studio di tali reperti si è dimostrato utile per ricostruire la vita del cimitero, per un periodo ormai certamente ascrivibile dal IV fino all’VIII secolo, nonché per la comprensione delle dinamiche insediative del sito nel quale essa si inserisce. Per tutto il periodo tardoantico sono preponderanti le importazioni africane (ceramica fine da mensa e lucerne in TS africana e brocchette in ceramica comune), analogamente al resto della Sicilia, mentre dal VII-VIII secolo si intensificano sia le produzioni regionali sia i rinvenimenti dal Mediterraneo tirrenico (anfore), a riprova della sopravvivenza di traffici commerciali rivolti verso la Chiesa di Roma e i suoi possedimenti nell’Italia meridionale. Da mettere in relazione con la frequentazione dell’area in periodo islamico (X-XI secolo) sono le brocche, le anfore dipinte a bande e rari esemplari invetriati, di produzione palermitana. In generale il quadro delineato conferma e precisa quanto già osservato negli altri settori del cimitero, rispetto ai quali la GVII si distingue per il maggior numero di rinvenimenti e per la ricchezza riscontrabile specialmente nell’abbondante presenza di vetri.

Most of the finds come from well-sealed layers of abandonment and decay, reliable indicators of the phases of use and abandonment of the cemetery, in a period between the fourth and eighth centuries. The ceramic, glass and metal objects, used as a functional and ritual kit, are largely imported from Africa (lamps and vessels in African red slip ware), from the Middle Tyrrhenian (amphorae) and partly produced regionally (common ware). In general, the emerged outline finds comparisons with the contemporary Sicilian funerary contexts, with the specificity of the prolonged use of the cemetery until the beginning of the eighth century.

The ceramic types, new compared to the excavation editions, which emerged from the study of the stratigraphic sequences present in the Ipogeo P and related to the activity of the medieval pottery workshop located there, were presented for the first time by Giuseppe Falzone in the publication of the excavation data of the aforesaid Ipogeo P. Here we intend to pay particular attention to the open and closed shapes of the table ware, including the amphorae, that for the significant similarities of the fabric deserve a univocal speech; the characteristics common with the morphologies of the late antique age are also underlined to follow the evolutionary lines in the pottery of the medieval age.
