Universal value lies in the inquiries inscribed on tiny lead tablets (ελάσματα).
Diviners interpreted Zeus' answers through the rustle of the sacred oak (φηγός) & the flight of doves.

The unique acoustic rituals included the "Scourge of the Corcyraeans" (Κερκυραίων μάστιξ), a votive bronze boy statue holding a whip. Blown by mountain winds, its chains struck a cauldron (λέβητας).

Wondering (not really asking—I'll find it) where the page is to send corrections to the OED. Its entries for Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic all say the Stone Age is divided into those three. The Stone Age entry, on the other hand, says it's divided into Palaeolithic and Neolithic. (Maybe it's less up to date than the other three?)
