Olive Cultivation in Ancient Greece

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 *
