A recently-reported excavation of a highly advanced Neolithic settlement shows that early humans were as concerned about appearance as long as 7500 years ago, since they produced statuettes of women wearing short skirts, ornamental tops, and bracelets around their arms. In the settlement, archaeologists found many things, including tools for metalworking. A nearby copper mine dated to the same period as the settlement confirms that the people in this village were advanced metalworkers.
The settlement also shows that villagers produced as many as 60 different forms of pottery and figurines. The village has evidence of advanced burial practices, clothes made of wool, flax, and leather. It also shows that the people of this era treated children much as we would today, supplying them with rattles and toy animals, as well as having them play at adult tasks such as pot-making.
There is also a thermal well nearby, marking what may very well be Europe’s oldest beauty spa.
Interestingly, the settlement also has figurines of young women, who ornamented themselves in a fashion remarkably similar to today’s women. Although it is by no means One Million Years B.C, the women wore short skirts and attractive short blouses.
The figurine also shows how much this culture valued narrow waists and arms of young women, meaning that in some ways they were very similar to us with our liposuction-seeking culture, not only around the abdomen, but perhaps even seeking SmartLipo for the arms and other targeted areas of fat. However, since the women are small-breasted, we imagine they would most likely not share the penchant of modern humans toward breast augmentation
