Hello Matthias and List,
"As far as I know the only early culture avoiding strictly to make use of
meteoritical material was that of Australian aborigines. Would be utmost
interesting to find out, why. Does anyone here know more?"
Ancestors of aborigines living near the Boxhole crater may have witnessed
the Boxhole irons fall and they named this area "Sun walk fire devil rock."
The word "devil" may be a hint that such objects were the works of devilish
forces in their eyes and so they preferred to stay away from them !?!?
