> A single object made of meteoritic iron has been identified, an arrowhead with a mass of 2.9 g found in the 19th Century in the late Bronze Age (900–800 BCE)

A cool and important finding no doubt, but there are much more impressive examples. Tutankhamun's meteoric iron dagger is from several hundred years earlier and is longer than your forearm.
