When used, a sharpened stone pencil is dipped into a container full of paint.

During excavations at the Yesilova Göyük mound in Izmir, Turkish archaeologists discovered a stone eyeliner that is 8.2 thousand years old, reports Arkeonews.

At its tip are remnants of black paint, used for eye makeup in Arab, Mediterranean and South Asian cultures.

Researchers believe that the paint contains manganese oxide, the main component of Kohl cosmetics, which is used for eyeliner. The item has been sent for review.

Professor Zafer Derin from Ege University said that this discovery indicates that the women of the Aegean 8,200 years ago definitely paid attention to their appearance. In the past, archaeologists also found vessels for jewelry, proving the existence of civilization in the Izmir area 8500-6500 years ago.

It was previously reported that on the remote Italian island of Pantelleria in the Sicily region, archaeologists discovered 27 silver coins from the Republican period of Ancient Rome.
