Abstract
The physical evidence offered by the palaeobotanist can, in some ancient cultures, be supplemented by other information - literary, iconographic and archaeological - about plants and trees, the use of their products, and their importance in the life, trade and even religion of the people who cultivated them. This paper reviews some of the sources available for the study of the olive tree and its products, principally in Greek lands where the tree seems first to have been cultivated on any scale and where its importance is well attested from the Early Bronze Age throughout antiquity.
