"Ancient Spanish Treasure Reveals Extraterrestrial Metal"

Researchers have discovered that two corroded artifacts from the Treasure of Villena, an ancient Iberian Bronze Age cache, are made from meteoritic iron, suggesting advanced metalworking techniques in Iberia over 3,000 years ago. This finding, published in January, indicates that the artifacts date back to around 1400 to 1200 BCE, predating the widespread use of terrestrial iron in the region.
