The "lead summit" is part of that series and was conceived as such, to show the impact of long-term pollution from archaeological data in present-day public health.* See also:- [ SoHP Event ](/events-type/sohp-event) - [ Event Archive ](/events-type/event-archive) Share on:- [ Facebook ](#) - [ Twitter ](#) - [ Linkedin ](#) Save: [ Add to calendar calendar\_today ](https://sohp.fas.harvard.edu/node/1346509/event-feed.ics) Copy link link
