Olives have been essential to life in Italy for far longer than we thought! In a new article for @theconversationnz.bsky.social, @emlynkd.bsky.social explores the history of olive cultivation and olive oil production from the Neolithic to the Roman period: https://bit.ly/3M5OSTs @ics.bsky.social
Olives have been essential to life in Italy for at least 6,000 years – far longer than we thought
New research suggests olive trees have been exploited for more than 6,000 years. The first Italian olive oil was produced perhaps 4,000 years ago.

On Thursday 29 January, students in the Museum studies seminar (#uOttawa) were treated to a tour of the National Capital Commission's archaeological lab. Thanks to archaeologists Monica Maika and Bob Clark for the hands-on tour. @ncc-ccn.gc.ca

#Ottawa #NationalCapitalCommission #archaeology
A group of people stand around a large table covered with archaeological materials, including labeled bags, soil samples, ceramic fragments, and tools. They appear to be discussing or examining the items in a bright workspace with maps and charts on the walls. Un groupe de personnes est rassemblé autour d’une grande table recouverte de matériaux archéologiques, notamment des sachets étiquetés, des échantillons de sol, des fragments de céramique et divers outils. Elles discutent ou examinent les objets dans un espace lumineux où des cartes et des schémas sont accrochés aux murs. Several people gather in a laboratory-like room, looking at tables filled with archaeological artifacts such as stone tools, pottery pieces, and sample bags. Posters, maps, and shelves of equipment line the walls, creating an active research or teaching environment. Plusieurs personnes se tiennent dans une salle ressemblant à un laboratoire, observant des tables chargées d’artefacts archéologiques comme des outils en pierre, des fragments de poterie et des sachets d’échantillons. Des affiches, des cartes et des étagères d’équipement bordent la pièce, créant une atmosphère de recherche ou d’enseignement actif. A busy classroom or lab where students or researchers examine bags of sediment samples, artifacts, and tools spread across tables. Some participants lean in to inspect items closely while others talk. Maps and posters decorate the walls, and backpacks and boots suggest recent fieldwork. Une salle de classe ou un laboratoire animé où des étudiants ou chercheurs examinent des sachets d’échantillons de sédiments, des artefacts et des outils disposés sur des tables. Certains inspectent les objets de près tandis que d’autres échangent. Des cartes et des affiches décorent les murs, et la présence de sacs à dos et de bottes suggère un retour récent du terrain.

A perky sea bull with an equally perky pomegranate lurking above him. He was (and maybe still is?*) swimming around Venus in one of the fabulous Frampton mosaics. From Samuel Lysons, Reliquiae Britannico-Romanae, 1813-1817, I.III, pl. IV.

* a quest for @durotrigesdig.bsky.social !

#MosaicMonday
A coloured engraving of a mosaic showing a detail of a sea bull with a coiled tail. The bull swims towards the left with some leaves in front of his hooves. Above him is a pomegranate with two leaves.
