	Ancient Olympics Guide: Myths about the Olympic Games
		Leni Riefenstahl filmed the 1936 Olympic torch relay as the flame moved from ancient Olympia toward Berlin for her acclaimed movie Olympia.
		For a scene where a torch runner circles the photogenic stadium at Delphi, a crude stone block was inscribed with the symbol of the five rings, and placed in the stadium.
		Carl Diem, organizer of the 1936 Olympics, seeking to glamorize them with an ancient aura, staged the first lighting of the Olympic flame, now a hallowed ritual in which thousands delight.

		One effect that this early domination of archaeology by specific, notable personalities has on the literature is a tremendous variance in styles, particularly in the oldest works, where the weight of a scientific argument had to depend upon persuasion as much as upon evidence.
		Kidder's Southwestern Archaeology [168] does a thorough job of delineating the boundaries of the desert cultures and the extent of their ruins, but the term "Hohokam" was not even in use when it was written in 1924, and even the later revision is sadly outdated.
		Archaeology in the City [9] by Bartlett and The Hohokam Indians of the Tucson Basin [110] by Gregonis are both excellent versions of this type of pamphlet.

	Guardian \| Barri Jones
		At the school, Jones became a legendary figure, partly because of his - for those years - unusual mobility: AW Lawrence, the professor of archaeology at Cambridge, and the younger brother of TE Lawrence, was so impressed by Barri's fieldwork that he had got the Seven Pillars of Wisdom Trust to buy him a car.
		Another enterprise was the magazine Popular Archaeology (later Archaeology Today), which from 1979-88 helped to bring the subject to a still wider public.
		During these years, Jones co-directed a Unesco-sponsored project to explore the technology of ancient farming in the Libyan pre-desert, a task for which his diplomatic, as well as academic, skills were ideally suited.

		It inspires the earlier history of naval power in the Archaeology, the view of the causes of the war in I 23 and in the Pentecontaetia, the great contrast between the two rivals in the speeches at Sparta, the opposing forecasts of victory by the Corinthians and by Pericles, and above all, the Funeral Oration.
		The Archaeology is not, properly speaking, an introduction but a digression confirming his statement on the magnitude of the war.
		Thus although Dionysius rightly sees that the Pentecontaetia is a continuation of the Archaeology, he fails to grasp the true nature of each as corroborative notes, in the one case, on Sparta's fear of Athens' growing power and, in the other, on the magnitude of the war.

	CT Underwater Archaeology-Brownstone Schooner
		The mid to late 19th century "Connecticut brownstone" building boom slowed in the 20th century with the changing architectural fashion and the use of more modern building materials.
		After nearly 250 years of continual operation, the quarries were permanently closed due to significant flooding caused by the Connecticut River overflow in 1936 and the hurricane of 1938.
		Shipping the stone was relatively inexpensive and easy because the Portland quarries were located along the banks of the Connecticut River.
