protoˈlithic, a. Archæol.
[f. proto- + Gr. λίθος stone, after neolithic, etc.]
1. A term introduced by the American ethnologist W. J. McGee to designate a type of primitive stone implements formerly in use amongst the Seri Indians of eastern Mexico (see quots.).
1897Amer. Anthropologist X. 326 In this stage of development (called protolithic after McGee) stone implements come into more or less extended use in connection with implements of shell, tooth, etc. 1898W. J. McGee in 17th Ann. Rep. Bur. Amer. Ethnol. 1895–6 i. 295 None other so well represents protolithic culture.
2. Belonging to the earliest stone age: eolithic.
1931Antiquity V. 518 In the new terminology three major divisions are recognised, the old Lower and Middle Palaeolithic being grouped together as ‘Protolithic’, the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic as ‘Miolithic’, the ‘Neolithic’ continuing as usual though now including the old Aeneolithic. 1962A. D. Krieger in Jennings & Norbeck Prehist. Man in New World 29 Menghin..employs six culture stages applied to both Old and New World, namely, (1) Protolithic (2) Epiprotolithic, (3) Miolithic, (4) Epimiolithic, (5) Neolithic, and (6) Chalcolithic. The first two are more or less equivalent to Lower Paleolithic as used by Old World archeologists... Menghin is careful to avoid any suggestion that such stages in the New World are of an age equal to those of the Old World; even his Protolithic in America may be no more than twenty thousand years old. |
