The last time anyone looked on Dawn's face was 9,000 years ago.

Now the teenager can be seen again, after scientists reconstructed her face to show what people looked like in the Mesolithic period, around 7,000 BC.

And, according to the experts, this included more 'masculine features' – for both men and women.

It's thought that Dawn (known as Avgi, in Greek) was around 15-18 years old when she died.

Didn’t realize they and lipstick / lip gloss in Greece 9,000 years ago.

On a completely serious note, she looks a lot like my ex-wife, including that permanent PO’d look on her face.

Mesolithic Girl probably looked pretty nice when she wasn't mad.

Given the likely state of dental care back then, I'd rather not know.

Mesolithic? Put a pussy hat on her and give her tenure, she’s clearly meant for modern academia.

Actually, those wonderful marble statues were very often painted. There are sometimes still traces of paint to be found on them.

Thanks a lot!

Why’d you have to go and post a picture like that? I’m supposed to be eating dinner in a little over an hour, but I doubt I’ll be finished retching by then..

She probably ate a very low carbohydrate diet ... no refined sugar or highly refined flour ... her teeth may have been in better shape than you think. They probably still exist; a forensic dentist could address that issue fairly accurately.
