prehistoric technology
Stone Age innovations
Prehistoric technology refers to tools, techniques, and innovations developed by humans before written records—stone tools, fire, the wheel, early agriculture.
The term often appears in discussions of human evolution and archaeology: Prehistoric technology shaped the course of civilization.
It can also describe something comically outdated: My flip phone is prehistoric technology at this point.
