Once upon a time…. The French School at Athens is one of the oldest archaeological institutes in Greece, promoting history, archaeology and culture of the country since 1846. It thus has certain long-standing traditions and favourite focus’s and sites, for the study of which the School’s Library and Archives have collected a great number of records and documents for studies and interpretations, or….stories. We propose a poster to illustrate the elements available to reveal or to tell a story and also how those elements can be reused to tell new stories. We use as a case study the research conducted at the forum of Philippoi by the École française d'Athènes in 2018.
