During the excavation of the Kani Koter cemetery, located on the eastern border of what was once the Assyrian Empire, scientists uncovered a fascinating find that sheds light on cosmetic practices and material culture in the Ancient Near East.
This discovery was made by an international team of researchers who focused on black eye makeup used between the 9th and 7th centuries B.C. in what is now northwestern Iran. Unlike the typical lead-based kohl prevalent across the region at that time, this makeup contained natural graphite and manganese oxide.
Dr. Silvia Amicone led the research from the Archaeometry working group at the University of Tübingen. The team identified this unique formula through analysis of samples collected from the Kani Koter cemetery. Dr. Shelir Amelirad from Heidelberg University noted that various personal grooming items were found during the excavation, including mirrors, kohl application tools, and a ceramic vessel filled with black powder—all of which displayed elements characteristic of Assyrian style. The research team employed several scientific techniques to further analyze these findings.
