Find pushes back birth of Europe's steel hardware to about 3k years ago

• PudgyWudge200 4y ago
  "A group of researchers in Germany have shown that steel tools were being used in the Iberian peninsula at least as long ago as 900 BCE – far earlier than it was believed knowledge of the metal had made its way to the region." Fascinating discovery here and a cool insight on the development of steel-based tools etc dating back far older than perhaps previously thought.
