This research focuses on the complex issue of olive oil processing
and the resulting technological changes associated with the olive
oil industry during this industry's expansion from a small scale
domestic to large-scale industrial technology during the
Chalcolithic through Iron Ages (c. 4300-586 BC) in Syro-Palestine.
The ultimate goal is to see if the level or type of olive oil
technology used at sites can be determined based on their olive
remains. However, before this could occur, the author prepares a
methodology, the components of which include 1) an ethnographic
study investigating how traditional oil pressing and processing
affect olive remains, and the incorporation of those remains into
the archaeological record, and 2) experimental studies to determine
how different processing methods might affect olive remains and
their incorporation into the archaeological record. The results
from the experimental and ethnographic studies are then applied to
archaeological remains from a Late Neolithic site to determine the
possible type of processing technology. The type of processing
indicated by the comparison of the experimental to the
archaeological remains, crushing in a small basin, matches the
olive oil processing artifacts and features found at the site. The
methods used in this study can be applied to other
paleoethnobotanical remains and technologies. Contents:
Introduction; Origins and early history of the olive; Ethnographic
research; Experimental research; Testing an archaeological sample;
Olive oil, trade, and the city state; Conclusions.
