Old Stone. More particularly, the old stone tool-making period, when human tools were only very slightly modifed rocks (perhaps a little chipping on the edge so as to make a better scraper). As the modifications became more complex (a stone knapped so it had a sharp point AND could be tied on a stick) Paleolithic yielded to Neolithic or New Stone.
The extraction of metals left the stones themselves behind and we began to speak of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.
