What is called the history not written down?

Oral Tradition is often referred to as history that has not been written down. Depending on the context, such as in cultural anthropology and archaeology classes, the term for history not written down can also be prehistory, assuming it covers a time period before there were written records. In still another context, such as when describing details of everyday life of past peoples, it can be called the unwritten history - because it was during the historic period, but was not considered significant enough for anyone to write down.
