On the post-mortem accumulation of lead by skeletal tissues
TL;DR: A study of the distribution of lead in a tooth from the Romano-British site at Cirencester by fast particle activation analysis indicated that virtually all the lead was on the external surface indicating post-mortem absorption as mentioned in this paper.

Postmortem absorption of lead by the skeleton
TL;DR: It is suggested that in any further study of the lead content of bones from archaeological sites, steps must be taken to assess environmental lead levels and if these are unusually high, the results of the analyses should be viewed with suspicion.

Lead concentrations in bones and soil
TL;DR: Lead concentrations were measured in 41 rib samples from the Romano-British cemetery at Poundbury and in two sets of soil samples from graves yielding up the bones as discussed by the authors, and there was no correlation between soil lead and bone lead concentrations.
