Fact is that several of the early iron tools have been tested from
1941 up to today showing that they definitely aren't from meteorites.
One definitely consists of iron from Scandinavia.


Wahat is the difference between North-American
and  Scandinavian iron? [*]

Shown to be of same origin as the Scandinavian iron tools found
in Staraja Ladoga.

You never gave any evidence for any iron tool
from SL, especially not for what you called a
"typical norse carpenters plane"

The last time I asked you to back your claim
about that was on 25 july, in the thread
"Thule dwellings by plane"
Of course there was no answer.
Look again at the references I presented there.
