This link below states the object is pyrite. Given that it was found in
association with flint tools my first inclination was to think it was a
striker for fire starting, and a terrestrial pyrite nodule. The article
states the meteorite conclusion was confirmed by specialized studies¹.

The rock doesn't look like a meteorite to me. They do not indicate
why they think it was a meteorite (since when do archaeologists know
how to ID a meteorite?), who analyzed it, or what type of meteorite it
is supposed to be. I say it's a piece of sandstone until a laboratory
says otherwise.
Michael,
I agree. No reference citing how they determined it was a meteorite. I
can't find anything else online about it.
