Relating to or characteristic of the earliest period of human stone tool use in ancient times.
From Greek 'archaeo-' (ancient) + 'lithos' (stone) + '-ic' (adjective suffix). It combines the concepts of antiquity and stone tool technology, similar to 'Paleolithic' but with emphasis on the ancient aspect.
Archaeolithic periods show us that humans were problem-solvers from the very beginning—they figured out how to shape stone into useful tools without any instructions, just trial and error over thousands of years.
