Researchers found residues of the Mediterranean-diet staple on ancient clay pots dating back to the 6th millennium B.C. In all, the researchers studied 20 pottery vessels, including two that date back to about 5,800 B.C., indicating that the oil was well preserved inside the vessels for almost 8,000 years. The findings support previous research that suggests people first domesticated the olive tree about 8,000 to 6,000 years ago.
