Both terms refer to the same "Copper-Stone Age" (intermediate between
Neolithic and Bronze). <aëneus> (ahe:neus) is quadrisyllabic in Latin,
so <Aeneolithic> is more correct (though still a Latino-Greek hybrid),
and Eneolithic (the more frequent variant in this Age of Classical
Decline) owes its existemce to false analogy (<encyclop(a)edia> etc.).
