Armenian archeologists: 5,900-year-old skirt found

An Armenian archaeologist says that scientists have discovered a skirt that could be 5,900-year-old, the Washington Post reports.

Pavel Avetisian, the head of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography in Yerevan, said a fragment of skirt made of reed was found during recent digging in the Areni-1 cave in southeastern Armenia. Avetisian told Tuesday's news conference in the Armenian capital that the find could be one of the world's oldest piece of reed clothing.
