Spanish researchers have found that two iron artifacts from a hoard of precious treasure dating back to the Late Bronze Age contain iron from meteorites estimated to be around 1 million years old.

Analysis using a spectrometer strongly suggests the iron came from space, shedding new light on ancient metallurgy practices and prompting further investigation into the origins of the extraterrestrial material.
