Characteristic of an earlier period of history (7)

I believe the answer is:

archaic

(Other definitions for archaic that I've seen before include "Belonging to former or ancient times" , "Outdated" , "Ancient or out of date" , "Primitive" , "Belonging to former times, perhaps word usage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
