| Summary: | This article is concerned with the uses of olive oil during the first temple period as well as the study of the archaeological evidence for oil production during this period in Israel/Palestine. The study of agricultural installations has not been in the mainstream of modem archaeological research, although the technology and history of these devices have been descriptionbed and discussed from earliest times. One reason for the little attention given to agricultural installations by archaeologists in the past may be that they have been mainly concerned with trying to construct chronological sequences of facets of material culture, artefacts, types of buildings etc. based on stratified assemblages. While many other types of artefacts such as pottery etc. can be dated stylistically within half a century, the differences between agricultural installations of different periods are rarely marked. In this article it will become clear that it is not possible to construct a clear chronological sequence of types of installations. |
