Last year, I wrote about an archaeological site in Armenia where archaeologists had found what they believe to be the oldest surviving shoe in Eurasia--nearly 6,000 years old.
Yesterday, I found another article about a new discovery at the same site. The new discovery consists of a woven grass skirt, well-preserved with "amazing" hues. Alas, the article contains no photographs of the find, and I have not been able to locate any so far. I'll be looking forward to future news from Areni-1 Cave, which is the name of the site, to see whether further interesting costume elements or other interesting artifacts are located.
Hello, Cathy! I found a tiny picture of the artifact at http://forum.jigyarov.net/showthread.php?t=5363 - post by Voskan on Jan. 15, 2011.
ReplyDeleteThanks! You may find this article that pearl found to be of interest; it has a much larger picture of the shoe: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0010984
