La description
The olive was believed to have first made its appearance in the
third millenium BC in the Middle East and consequently spread
throughout the Aegean Islands, Greece and other Mediterranean
regions.
However, new fossil findings of olive tree leaves (Olea Europea)
dating back *0 to *0 thousand years were discovered by Professor E.
Velitzelos along strata of the volcanic crater in Santorini
(Thera). Later, on the island of Nisyros, more such findings proved
its indigenous existence in the greater region of the Aegean
thousands of years ago.
The first inhabitants of Crete, is considered that, besides other
crops, they occasionally collected and ate the fruit of the wild
olive tree (Olea oleaster), from as far back as the Neolithic
Period (********0 BC).
Later on, during the 3rd millennium B.C, the inhabitants of Crete
start the cultivation of the olive-tree and during the 2nd
millennium proceed to its systematic exploitation.
On Minoan Crete, after ***0 BC, the olive assumes prominence in the
royal economy of Knossos and is later passed on to the economy and
life of Mycenaean Greece. There was a great number of uses for
olive oil in Minoan Crete. It was used either fragranced or not for
cosmetic purposes, for religious ceremonies, as a body ointment, as
a therapeutic substance, as a lubricant and as fuel for lamps.
Ideogramms depicting the olive tree, its crop and olive oil found
in Linear A and B tablets, consist the evidence for Minoan's
occupation with the olive tree and its produce, from ***0 BC.
