Olive Oil and Other Sorts of Oil in the Mycenaean Tablets

Abstract

In 1978 an International meeting on «Olive Oil in Antiquity » was planned and subsequently held at Madrid in December, 4-6. I was asked by Professor M. F. Galiano to contribute on the Mycenaean evidence concerning olive oil, and, although I was finally unable to attend the meeting, I sent my contribution, an expanded version of which was published in the Proceedings in due course.
