Aside from the earliest known actual remains of olive oil, as opposed to indirect evidence of olive oil production, the site also features domestic buildings and multiple cultic areas with stunning finds, including animal bones and stone palettes (typically about 10x10 centimeters in size) carved with two-dimensional animal motifs.
Digging from 2011 to 2013, the archaeologists also found pottery vessels, a great deal of flint items – notably sickle blades and axes and even fine stone vessels, such as bowls. And, clay vessels that proved to have olive oil inside.
Ein Zippori is some 2 kilometers from the ancient town of Zippori, but is millennia older: there is no connection between it and the "classic" site of city. It is also situated right by Highway 79, a very busy traffic artery, which is why the road needs expansion – which in turn is how the site was found, explains Dr. Ianir Milevski of the Israel Antiquities Authority, who dug there in 2011-2013 together with Nimrod Getzov.
