During the bronze age it never occured to people that iron could be found n the ground. They didn't have the tools and technics to do that kind of mining as iron runs deeper and is harder to see than other metals. Also iron ore is less rich in iron than copper viens are rich in copper.
Most iron of that time frame came from metorits and was thought of as sent by the gods.
Copper and Tin are more visible, closer to the surface and have a lower melting point, and better ore concenrtations. Hence the creation of bronze before steel.
