Ancient ornaments discovered in Poland have been found to contain metal from space, forming one of the largest collections of meteoritic iron artefacts at a single archaeological site worldwide. The remarkable finds were unearthed at two burial sites approximately six kilometres apart in southern Poland,

The research, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, found that about 26 specimens of ornaments, including three bracelets, an ankle ring, and a pin unearthed at an ancient Polish cemetery contained meteoritic iron.

The discovery forms 'one of the biggest collections' of the extra-terrestrial ingredient of any archaeological site
