I am just fascinated by the hole thing of metalwork in the Americas. Relics are there to show that it was pan American. Could the PNW have been the first to produce iron? Archeaologists suggest that the ancient British bronze age and iron ages were not seperate events. It seems obvious that a merging would occur. Stone, bronze and iron being used for a period of time while wealth, location, materials and trade made certian materials obsolete. A lot may have depended on the job and size of the tool.
