铅含量测定的骨骼组织中的82个人代表2个黑色和2个白色殖民地美国人口：Catoctin炉，学院兰丁，州长的土地和艾琳土墩。用骨铅浓度的组间和个体间差异来评估行为、社会和职业特征。骨骼铅含量的变化表明，卡托克廷铁炉的白色主人很少与他们的黑人男性工业奴隶分享食物和饮料，但这些工人的一些女性可以获得主人的食物来源，可能是通过家庭任务。兰丁学院的自由黑人骨骼中铅浓度的范围很广，这意味着这些商人在经济上取得了广泛的成功。Govenor's Land和Irene Mound的白色人口的骨铅含量有助于确认考古学和骨骼学基础上分配的家庭关系，也表明白色佃农的白色仆人的社会和功能地位与黑人奴隶的社会和功能地位几乎没有什么不同。在适当的情况下，铅考古骨骼组织的研究可以提供信息补充，从历史，考古或其他传统来源。
Pb content was determined in the skeletal tissue of 82 individuals representing 2 black and 2 white Colonial American populations: Catoctin Furnace, College Landing, Govenor''s Land and Irene Mound. Group and individual differences in bone lead concentrations were used to asess behavior, social and occupational characteristics. Variations in skeletal lead content suggested that the white owners of the Catoctin iron furnace shared little of their food and beverage with their black, male, industrial slaves, but that some of these workers'' women had access to the owners'' food sources, probably via domestic duty assignments. A broad range of Pb concentrations in bones of the free blacks at College Landing implies a wide range of economic success among these tradesmen. Bone lead content of the white populations at Govenor''s Land and Irene Mound helped confirm family relationships that had been assigned on an archaeological and osteological basis, and also suggested that the social and functional status of the white tenant farmers'' white servants frequently differed little from that of black slaves. When applied in appropriate circumstances, Pb studies of archaeological skeletal tissue may provide information supplemental to that derived from historical, archeological or other conventional sources.
