Talk:Lead/Archive 4

The section Classical Era begins with the statement "Because silver" is if the connection between lead production was obvious, which it isn't. I therefore investigated the reference 130 provided, which conflicts with a statement later in the section. In the reference it states that despite the existence of silver with lead, they believe that leads main connection with silver is using lead in the silver extraction process, which they did regardless of the silver ore. That conflicts with the statement that most lead was extracted just because they were looking for silver.

  I don't know anything about this, so can somebody please have a look at it ?

I'm not seeing a contradiction. "Lead came into use as an exchange medium" is in the sentence that uses reference 130, which describes the extraction of silver from Galena using the properties of lead. Also, the connection between lead and silver is described under the previous heading at reference 124. Reconrabbit 13:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
