[Phys-L] ancient lead



I recently read an article re: physics research vs. history. Lead ingots from the Romans of historical interest and useful for physics, because non-contaminated by nuclear. This puzzles, as mined (sequestered for millennia) is also radioactive free (from testing and Japan). Furthermore doesn't natural lead also contain Pb daughters from the several radioactive series?
