Abstract
Abstract:In 1929–1930, commercial waterworks inspired antiquarian ventures in Attica and Macedonia. An American firm faced the Marathon Dam in Pentelic marble and built a copy of the Athenian Treasury of Delphi at its foot, while fragments of a colossal ancient lion found while dredging the Strymon River near Amphipolis were reconstructed with support from the U.S. minister to Greece, Lincoln MacVeagh. At Corinth, archaeology drove hydraulic interventions. There, in 1932, Bert Hodge Hill undertook a comprehensive sanitation program with the Athens School of Hygiene, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. This work remains an important case study in rural groundwater management, and it was an investment in the future of Ancient Corinth.
