Best Answer

Iron, being harder than the copper and tin previously used to fuel the Bronze Age of technology, requires a higher temperature to smelt any useable material from ores. Early peoples in Africa and Europe may have lacked the technology to smelt iron... they may have used low temperature bloomeries to produce a 'spongey mass of iron' that would be consolidated later with a hammer. (Obviously the quality of the iron would be poor.)
