american archeologist dorothy king, in a newspaper article, wrote that techniques similar to the ones used in 1937–38 were applied by greeks as well in more recent decades than the british, and maintained that italians still find them acceptable. the british museum said that a similar cleaning of the temple of hephaestus in the athenian agora was carried out by the conservation team of the american school of classical studies at athens in 1953 using steel chisels and brass wire. according to the greek ministry of culture, the cleaning was carefully limited to surface salt crusts. the 1953 american report concluded that the techniques applied were aimed at removing the black deposit formed by rain-water and "brought out the high technical quality of the carving" revealing at the same time "a few surviving particles of colour".
