<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">In this talk, we present a lattice QCD analysis of the pion--nucleon sigma-term. One of the most serious systematic effect in lattice calculations of nucleon correlation
functions is the contribution of excited states. We estimate these using chiral perturbation theory (ChPT), and show that the leading contribution to the isoscalar scalar charge comes from $N\pi$ and $N\pi\pi$ states. Therefore, we carry out two analyses of
lattice data to remove excited-state contamination, the standard one and a new one including $N\pi$ and $N\pi\pi$ states. We find that the standard analysis gives the sigma-term of 41.9(4.9) MeV, consistent with previous lattice calculations, while our preferred
ChPT-motivated analysis gives 59.6(7.4) MeV, which is consistent with phenomenological values obtained using pion--nucleon scattering data. Our data on one physical pion mass ensemble was crucial for exposing this difference, therefore, calculations on additional
physical mass ensembles are needed to confirm our result and resolve the tension between lattice QCD and phenomenology.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
