Abstract
Lead, being one of the most readily reducible of the metals, and its oxidized ores being easily available on the surface of the earth, has been known and used by man from remote times. It was found by Woolley at Ur of the Chaldees and at al'Ubaid in the form of small castings and frescoes dating from the 2nd and 3rd millennia B.C. Specimens from these two places contain 99.75% lead.
