The discovery was found submerged at the chalcolithic site Hishulei Carmel, and predates the oldest evidence of olive production for consumption by some 4,000 years. The research team was led by the University of Haifa and included researchers from the Technion, Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University, and the Volcani Center. Dr. Ehud Galili (Zinman Institute of Archeology) who led the study noted that this latest discovery sheds light on the evolution of the use of olives by inhabitants of the region. The study was published in Scientific Reports and received wide media coverage in Israel. READ MORE in the Jerusalem Post and the Jewish Press
