Ancient Colored ‘Pencil’ Up To 50,000-Years-Old Found in Siberia
Cave-dwellers used hematite crayon for art work in Altai Mountains, say archeologists investigating a latest find in Siberia.
The pre-historic artists were not Homo sapiens but Denisovans – a long-extinct branch of ancient man – or possibly Neanderthals, another vanished sub-species, believe scientists.
The crayon was used to make reddish brown marks.
It was found in a layer of the world famous Denisova Cave this summer.

This layer dates to between 45,000 and 50,000 years ago and was occupied mainly by the long-gone Denisovans whose closest modern-day descendants live thousands of miles away as the native peoples of Australia and Papua New Guinea.
However, the cave also had Neanderthal dwellers and it is known that there was cross breeding between the two branches of human.
