Cool!. That's fantastic that it was so well preserved. Somehow the thought of finger marks in it gives me chills. It's like when a candidate for a professorship in the KU Classics program told me about finding a pressed flower when translating some previously untranslated Roman text, or like the reference in the Illiad to a common type of reoccuring dream that was as familiar to the Hellenes clustered around a bard as it is to us. It's more than a little haunting.

I think what I found the coolest about this is that the cosmetics had been so well preserved that scientists could determine exactly what was in it and make a new batch!

Goody, me too... that and the fact that the finger marks were still in it! For some reason that sent shivers up and down my spine.
