##### Abstract

We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of ${U}_{q}\left(s{l}_{2}\right)$ $6j$–symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to volumes of hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra. We address a question which is strictly related with S Gukov’s generalized volume conjecture and deals with the case of hyperbolic links in connected sums of ${S}^{2}×{S}^{1}$. We answer this question for the infinite family of fundamental shadow links.
