prehistoric tools
Stone Age equipment
Prehistoric tools are implements made and used by humans before the development of writing systems—stone axes, flint knives, bone needles, and similar artifacts.
The term appears in archaeology and anthropology to describe technology from the Stone Age through the Bronze Age: The museum's collection of prehistoric tools includes hand axes from 500,000 years ago.
Figuratively, prehistoric tools can dismiss outdated technology: I'm still using prehistoric tools while everyone else has upgraded.
