OLEA project focuses on the development of the cultural mosaic-like landscape in small to medium islands of the Mediterranean, at the core of a changing system observed at an uncommonly long-term scale. By utilising a “fine-resolution holistic approach” the project couples the study of both off-site (littoral lagoons) and on-site (archaeological sites) records to understand the spatial patchiness of the landscape during the Holocene in the Balearic Islands. The main aims of the OLEA project are i) to uncover drivers that have previously been implied in the spread of Olea macchia, tracing the origins of Balearic landscape back in times, and ii) to trace in fine detail the history of Olea horticulture and management since the earliest human arrival to the Balearic Islands
