lithic
Of or relating to stone — specifically, in archaeology, describing the stone tools, flakes, and debitage produced by human knapping. A lithic scatter is a concentration of worked stone on the ground surface, evidence that someone sat in that spot and made tools. In geology, lithic simply means composed of or pertaining to rock.
Etymology
Greek: lithikos (of stone), from lithos (stone). The same root gives us lithography, monolith, and Neolithic.
