Skirt – 5,900 years old
Fragment of a skirt made of reed was found during excavations in the Areni-1 cave in southern Armenia. Pavel Avetisian, the head of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography in Yerevan, informed that this artifact was discovered in 2010 and, even though they had informed about this precious item at the time, interest toward it grew further only recently.
“The women’s clothing dates back to 39th century BC. So far we have discovered the skirt’s parts, which were superbly preserved. It is an amazing material with rhythmic color hues, and other remnants of the straw-woven material were also discovered. Such thing is recorded in Armenia for the first time,” Avetisyan noted. It’s considered the world’s oldest piece of reed clothing.
