industry, cottage industry, Seeking Fame in Apple's Sea of Apps, The Oldowan industry

 The Oldowan, often spelled Olduwan or Oldawan, is the archaeological term used to refer to the earliest stone tool industry in prehistory, being used during the Lower Paleolithic period, 2.6 million years ago up until 1.7 million years ago, by Hominines. It was followed by the more sophisticated Acheulean industry.

問題: The Oldowan industry 翻譯成Oldowan"文化"可乎?
