Lead archaeologist Zafer Derin stated that kohl has been worn by individuals of all genders, statuses, and socioeconomic levels throughout history. This underscores its cultural significance across different societies.
The kohl stick found in Yeşilova Höyük is 8,200 years old and represents the oldest known example of this makeup tool, reflecting the beauty practices of early Aegean women and their importance in society.
Excavations at Yeşilova Höyük reveal a site inhabited for thousands of years, showcasing not only the use of make-up but also the development of Neolithic infrastructure and community life.
The discovery of this eyeliner emphasizes that beauty and personal care were valued in early human societies, extending beyond mere aesthetics to include possible medical applications of the kohl.
