The definition of 'pre-historic' assumes that the period was before written records. Obviously easily satisfied for the fossil collectors.

Archaeology concerns itself with the early history of mankind (and other life forms) and attention is usually paid to settlement regions, middens and waste sites, early tool forms and so on. So a knowledge of the food species (botany and zoology) and some knowledge of tool working techniques. e.g. How did they make that ochre paint for the walls.

Recent work in the Pacific in studying the common root of (non-written) languages has helped identify the migration patterns throughout that region.

What is the significance of the discovery of a living trilobite in modern scientific research and understanding of prehistoric life forms?

The discovery of a living trilobite would be highly significant in modern scientific research as it would provide valuable insights into the evolution and biology of prehistoric life forms. Trilobites are ancient marine arthropods that lived over 250 million years ago, and finding a living one would help scientists better understand their biology, behavior, and evolutionary history. This discovery could potentially reshape our understanding of prehistoric life and provide new information on how these ancient creatures have adapted and survived over millions of years.
