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. @emlynkd @Macquarie_Uni theconversation.com/olives-h…

Olives have been essential to life in Italy for at least 6,000 years – far longer than we thought

In #Cambridge to share new results from @FaleriiNovi at the @CamClassics #Art & #Archaeology seminar! When exciting archaeology, a US election and bonfire night collide - tough choices for some.

We are pioneering the use of certain approaches in this region. Geophysics is rarely - if ever - used on Cycladic islands, and this might be the first time on Paros. Results will help inform future work in the area. /4

Some thoughts on the seasonality and lived experience of working in an #ancient #winery 💪🍷 in @ConversationUK @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/working-…

Working in an ancient winery was seasonal, smelly and noisy

Shouting, squelching, singing, constantly moving, ancient urban wineries were an assault on the senses

How did ancient Romans live and work? 🤔 @FaleriiNovi is an international project to unearth secrets from this ancient town. This year, the 40+ team made even more fascinating discoveries of everyday life thousands of years ago. #History #Roman sas.ac.uk/news-events/news/e…

An extremely productive season at @FaleriiNovi done with fantastic material on every phase of the town’s history, from 3rd BCE to 7th+ CE. Not to mention the brilliant #Environmental #Archaeology Summer School! Looking forward to pulling this all together.
