Sistem tiga zaman adalah pembagian zaman prasejarah manusia (dengan sejumlah lompatan dalam periode sejarah di sejumlah kecil wilayah) dalam tiga periode waktu: Zaman Batu, Zaman Perunggu, dan Zaman Besi,[1][2] meskipun konsep tersebut juga dapat merujuk kepada pembagian tripartit lainnya dari periode masa sejarah. Dalam beberapa sistem Zaman Tembaga ditambahkan antara Zaman Batu dan Zaman Perunggu. Zaman Tembaga, Perunggu dan Besi juga secara kolektif disebut sebagai Zaman Logam.[3][4]

Three-Age system: The division of human prehistory into three successive stages – Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age – based on the main type of material used in tools of the period. [...] The Ages are only developmental stages, and some areas skipped one or more of the stages. At first entirely hypothetical, these divisions were later confirmed by archaeological observations.
