Olive Cultivation in Ancient Greece: Seeking the Ancient Economy

Autor Lin Foxhall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 sep 2007
Lin Foxhall explores the cultivation of the olive as an extended case study for understanding ancient Greek agriculture in its landscape, economic, social, and political settings. Evidence from written sources, archaeology, and visual images is assembled to focus on what was special about the cultivation and processing of the olive in classical and archaic Greece, and how and why these practices differed from Roman ones. This investigation opens up new ways of thinking about the economies of the archaic and classical Greek world.

Recenzii

Packed with judicious, commonsensical observations, and founded as much on sweaty survey work in the field as on library lucubration, here is a comprehensive, engaging and exceptionally clear account of olive production
Foxhall does a terrific job... The volume is amply illustrated with helpful archaeological plans and photographs whose content is actually discernible
Foxhall's much-anticipated monograph on Greek oleo-culture is a throughly informative and provocative work that now ranks among the most important treatments of the subject.
...this original work, matured over time, is based on a deep knowledge of Greece and its olive production.
thorough and enlightening at every step of the way
...a straightforward and technical study of cultivation and processing...Yet at the same time designed as a case study to shed light on more general characteristics of the pre-Hellenistic Greek economy
...a groundbreaking book.
an outstanding and transcendent piece of research. It is also a fascinating work to read and engage with.
This is an important volume, one that perhaps [Foxhall] alone could have produced, and it is to be welcomed.
