Discovery of beauty aid points to prehistoric Nenggiri remains being female

GUA MUSANG; The 14,000-year-old human skeleton uncovered by archaeologists seven months ago in Gua Keledung Kecil in the Nenggiri Valley here is likely to be that of a female based on the discovery of hematite in the grave.

The mineral has a reddish powder which researchers believe was used as a face powder during the pre-Neolithic age.
