The pottery can be generally dated within the range of the fifth and the early seventh centuries CE, in accordance with the date on the dedication inscription of the church. The assemblage includes Late Roman C Ware, storage jars and tegula roof tiles. The dark, rich alluvial soil of the Marzeva trough, upon which Barqa is situated, provided an excellent source of raw material for pottery vessels, as is also evinced by the nearby pottery workshop discovered in previous excavations.
