What does EOLITH mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A very crude piece of flint or stone once believed to be the earliest tool made by early humans.
The name eolith joins Greek words for dawn and stone, because the finds were thought to date from the dawn of the Stone Age. Collectors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries gathered thousands of them, but most archaeologists now think nature, through frost, rivers and pressure, shaped many of these stones. Today the word is mainly of historical interest in the story of prehistoric research.
