The lead doesn't stay there, I guess:
FTA: lead can be found throughout everyone’s daily lives in the form of batteries and the new generation of solar panels that deteriorate over time and release their toxicity into the air and the soil from which crops are grown
Really though, the exact nature of the link is secondary to the research. What it shows is that historically, lead production was closely correlated with lead exposure across the entire population, for whatever reason. That this correlation holds so well across cultures indicates that it's not one single mechanism that drives it, such as Roman lead piping, but more a general tendency for whatever lead there is around to migrate into our bodies somehow.
