That white face powder was pro- dused in ancient Greece 400 years before Christ by methods Identical with contemporary processes has been established by a chemical analysis of the "first white cos metics ever recorded. The face powder was found in a woman's grava at Corinth by Professor Shear of the Department of Art and Archaeology of Princeton Univer |sity.
Discovered in a small terra cotta. toilet box in a tomb which elsö contained a silver coin and several vases during an archaeological ex- pedition in 1980, the powder was brought back to Princeton by Dr. Shear and has been analyzed by Professor Foster of the Princeton University Department of Chemis try. The cosmetics were found to be cubes of carbonate of lead which had been manufactured by the Greeks through basic methods similar to those used to-day in the production of white lead, a paint pigment.
