They are listed as an item in a menu that I once posted, which is located at:
http://www.jimena.com/cocina/apartados/nobleza.htm

On February 9, 1568, Archbishop Juan de Ribera had, as the last course of his 
supper: olives, cheese, and walnuts.

I have not seen olives as an ingredient in any period Spanish recipes (except 
for the use of oil, of course).

But I'll check around.
