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

Some evidently can tell where iron comes from: http://www.dpc.dk/PolarPubs/MoG/Dokumenter/Man&Society26.pdf

The report analyzes iron remains in Norse settlements but also iron finds among Inuit remains. Excepting a few meterorite sorces (especially among the Norse), all examined pieces that can be traced are of European origin. Note that iron was a scarce commodity among the Greenland Norse.

And for those who propose frequent travels to Markland, where is the bog iron to be found there? Just as no American wood has been found among Greenland Norse AFAIK. .
