"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" - Gerald Cadogan, The Anglo-Hellenic Review "Foxhall does a terrific job... The volume is amply illustrated with helpful archaeological plans and photographs whose content is actually discernible" - David W. Tandy, Europe: Ancient and Medieval "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." - Bradley A. Ault American Journal of
Archaeology "...this original work, matured over time, is based on a deep knowledge of Greece and its olive production." - Jean-Pierre Brun Antiquity "thorough and enlightening at every step of the way" - D. Brent Sandy, The Bulletin of the American Society of Papapyrologists "...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" - Walter Scheidel, Times Literary Supplement "...a groundbreaking book." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review "an outstanding and transcendent piece of research. It is also a fascinating work to read
and engage with." - David Mattingly, Agricultural History Review "This is an important volume, one that perhaps [Foxhall] alone could have produced, and it is to be welcomed." - J.G. Manning, Classical Review
