They may have lived during the “New Stone Age” (Neolithic), but according to European figurines which are 7,500 years old, women liked to look sexy even back then.
Recent digging at the site of a settlement of Vinca culture, Europe’s biggest known Neolithic civilization, on Plocnik (southern Serbia), uncovered a sophisticated prehistoric metropolis, with a developed taste for art and fashion and it appears now to be Europe’s first civilization using metal. Vinca culture, whose name comes from a Serbian village on the Danube where 8 Neolithic villages were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, was spread over modern Bosnia, Serbia, Romania and Macedonia 7500 to 6000 BC years ago.
This people knew how to melt copper for tools, raised cattle and dressed in a fashionable manner even according to today’s standards.
“According to the figurines we found, young women were beautifully dressed, like today’s girls in short tops and mini skirts, and wore bracelets around their arms,” said archaeologist Julka Kuzmanovic-Cvetkovic.
