We can learn a lot from Troy's trash
Beneath the epic tales of heroes and gods, Troy's true
story is written in something far less glamorous − its
rubbish.
When we think of Troy, we imagine epic battles, valiant
deeds, cunning tricks and the wrath of gods. Thanks to
Homer's Iliad, the city is remembered as a stage for
romance and heroism.
But long before Paris stole Helen and Achilles raged on
the battlefield, the people of bronze age Troy lived
ordinary lives − with extraordinary consequences. They
built, cooked, stored, traded and, crucially, threw things
away. And they did it right where they lived.
Today, waste is whisked away quickly − out of sight, out
of mind. But in bronze age Troy (3000−1000BC), trash
stayed close, often accumulating in domestic dumping
grounds for generations.
Having spent more than 16 summers excavating and
analysing the bronze age layers of Troy, I've learned to read the city's history this waste.
Hundreds of thousands of animal bones from cattle,
sheep, fish − even turtles − were found alongside vast
quantities of pottery shards, ash, food scraps, and human
waste. Sometimes, these layers were reused to level
floors or build walls, showing how closely intertwined
daily life and refuse management were.
This wasn't laziness or neglect, it was pure pragmatism.
In a world without rubbish trucks or sanitation systems,
managing refuse was neither chaotic nor careless, but a
collective, spatially negotiated − and surprisingly strategic
− effort.
The excavations I have worked on as part of the
University of Tübingen's Troy Project, which has been
going on since 1988, have revealed just how deliberate
these routines were. Where people chose to dump, or not
to dump, speaks volumes about status, social roles, and
community boundaries. Waste is the diary no one meant
to write, yet it records the intimate rhythms of daily life
with unfiltered clarity.
Far from a nuisance, Troy's waste is an archaeologist's
treasure trove.
Over nearly 2,000 years, Troy ended up with 15 meters
of built-up debris. Archaeologists can see nine major
building phases in it, each made up of hundreds of thin
layers, which formed as people lived their everyday lives.
These layers act like snapshots, quietly recording how
the city changed over time. Some capture hearth
cleanings, others record the rebuilding of entire city
quarters.
By analysing the layers and their ratios of bones to
pottery, ash concentration, presence of storage jars,
grinding stones, or production debris, specific spaces of
activity become visible: kitchens, workshops, storage
areas, rubbish pits. What appears chaotic turns out to be
a carefully structured map of everyday routines −
showing where meals were prepared, tools made, and
discarded objects left behind.
The story these remains tell is one of profound
transformation. Troy began as a modest agrarian
settlement, shaped by the steady rhythms of farming,
herding, and small-scale craft. Over time, it grew into a
thriving regional centre.
The archaeological record, rich in refuse, traces this long
arc of change. Exotic imports fashioned from stones such
as carnelian and lapis lazuli begin to appear, revealing
distant trade connections. Specialised metalworking tools
emerge alongside monumental architecture. some
buildings stretched nearly 30 metres, signalling growing
ambitions and expanding capabilities.
This rise unfolded gradually, reflected not just in grander
buildings, but in shifting tools, trade, and how people
dealt with what they left behind. Waste management
became more organised, with designated areas for
different types of waste. This reflects broader shifts in
how the community structured space and managed its
economy.
Yet this ascent was interrupted. By the mid-third
millennium BC, signs that things were becoming smaller
appear. Architecture simplifies, household inventories
shrink, production debris declines suggesting economic
slowdown or political instability.
Still, Troy endured. By the mid-second millennium BC,
the city revived. Refined ceramics, luxury imports and
evidence of social complexity marked a new chapter of
recovery and reinvention. This splendid settlement later
became the stage for Homer's Trojan War where Greek
warriors faced the daunting task of climbing towering
mounds of debris built up over centuries just to reach the
palaces.
These insights allow us to see Troy not just as a city of
walls and towers, but as a living organism shaped by
daily routines, unspoken norms and social negotiation.
The waste left behind is a remarkably honest archive of
bronze age society − beneath myths, stones, and poetry.
Troy's trash heaps are the bronze age's search history.
To know what mattered 4,500 years ago, don't ask poets
− ask the garbage. From broken tools to shared meals,
from imported luxuries to scraps, this waste reveals the
pulse of everyday life and society's evolving structure.
Ironically, these mundane refuse layers preserved the
bronze age world for us. Without them, we'd know far
less about early Troy's people. Their depth and
composition trace changes in economy, technology, and
social structure. From scraps to towers of pottery shards,
waste archaeology is key to understanding early urban
complexity.
So next time you picture Achilles storming Troy's gates,
remember: the heroes might have been divine, but their
city smelled very human.

New research unveils the "dark side" of social media
influencers and their impact on marketing and
consumer behaviour
Social media influencers (SMIs) pose psychological,
health and security risks and need tighter regulation, a
new study finds.
SMIs have revolutionised marketing, shaping consumer
behaviour, brand strategies, and even societal norms.
However, new research exposes a lesser-known side of
influencer culture, one that raises ethical, psychological,
and regulatory concerns.
A recent study by the University of Portsmouth
systematically examines the negative impacts of SMIs,
highlighting issues such as misinformation, endorsement
of dangerous products, unrealistic beauty standards, the
fostering of a comparison culture, deceptive
consumption, and privacy risks.
With influencer marketing projected to reach an
estimated $480 billion by 2027, companies increasingly
rely on SMIs to promote products and foster consumer
trust.
A Digital Marketing Institute (2024) survey found that 60
per cent of consumers trust influencer recommendations,
with nearly half of all purchasing decisions being
influenced by these endorsements. However, as
influencer culture grows, so do concerns about its
unintended consequences.
Many SMIs act as opinion leaders or experts within their
respective areas, frequently reviewing products and
leveraging their authority, expertise, or relationships with
followers to influence purchasing decisions. Some inspire
and entertain; others deceive and upset. The deception
and damage, and their impact on consumption, need to
be carefully regulated.
Yuksel Ekinci, Professor of Marketing and Sales at the
University of Portsmouth
The paper, published in Psychology and Marketing,
warns power of SMIs is creating a worrying consumer
landscape. Unlike traditional celebrities, whose fame is
typically rooted in institutional settings - such as acting,
music, or sports - SMIs gain recognition through social media platforms, often relying on personal branding and
consistent engagement with their audiences.
Yuksel Ekinci, Professor of Marketing and Sales at the
University of Portsmouth, said: "Many SMIs act as
opinion leaders or experts within their respective areas,
frequently reviewing products and leveraging their
authority, expertise, or relationships with followers to
influence purchasing decisions. Some inspire and
entertain; others deceive and upset. The deception and
damage, and their impact on consumption, need to be
carefully regulated."
This study organises the negative aspects of influencer
marketing into six key themes:
1. Promotion of harmful products − SMIs often endorse
unhealthy or dangerous products such as diet pills, detox
teas, and alcohol without full disclosure, influencing
consumption habits, particularly among younger
audiences.
2. Dissemination of misinformation − many influencers,
despite lacking expertise, spread false information about
health, politics, and social issues, leading to widespread
disinformation.
3. Reinforcement of unrealistic beauty standards − by
presenting filtered and curated images, influencers
contribute to body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and
harmful beauty practices.
4. Fostering of comparison culture − influencer-driven
content fuels lifestyle envy and social anxiety, leading to
negative self-comparison and diminished wellbeing.
5. Deceptive consumption practices − some influencers
engage in unethical behaviours such as undisclosed
sponsorships, promotion of counterfeit goods, and
misleading advertisements, undermining consumer trust.
6. Privacy concerns − the extensive data collection and
sharing by influencers raise significant security and
regulatory issues, posing risks for both influencers and
followers.
Social media influencers hold immense power over
consumer decisions and cultural norms. While they
provide entertainment, inspiration, and brand
engagement, the unchecked influence of some SMIs can
lead to serious ethical and psychological consequences.
Our study highlights the urgency for both academic and
industry stakeholders to address these challenges
proactively.
Dr Georgia Buckle, Research Fellow in the School of
Accounting, Economics and Finance at the University of
Portsmouth
The study calls for more stringent oversight, increased
transparency, and ethical marketing strategies to mitigate
these risks. Researchers suggest the following strategies
for policymakers and marketeers:
•Transparency and ethical compliance: brands must
enforce clear disclosure policies to ensure responsible
influencer partnerships.
• Regulation and consumer protection: governments should strengthen policies on influencer marketing to
prevent deceptive practices and misinformation.
• Mental health awareness: companies and influencers
must prioritize authentic content that promotes well-being
rather than unattainable ideals.
• Data privacy protections: stronger safeguards and
awareness campaigns are needed to protect users from
privacy breaches and data exploitation.
Dr Georgia Buckle, Research Fellow in the School of
Accounting, Economics and Finance at the University of
Portsmouth, said: "Social media influencers hold
immense power over consumer decisions and cultural
norms. While they provide entertainment, inspiration, and
brand engagement, the unchecked influence of some
SMIs can lead to serious ethical and psychological
consequences. Our study highlights the urgency for both
academic and industry stakeholders to address these
challenges proactively."
This research offers a critical framework for analysing
influencer culture beyond its commercial benefits,
emphasising the need for ethical marketing practices and
a healthier digital ecosystem.

Digital archeology
The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition
"Digital Archeology"
With a large exhibition, including works from his most
famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in
the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to
31.
For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale
performance in the city where he was born.
The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.
The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital
Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series
of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic,
Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues
and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:
Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology
reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the
posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting
technology and our uncertain future and insight into the
way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "
Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years
of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas
for unity between art, architecture, design and
technology. He studied art at the National Academy of
Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the
Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.
He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988),
EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich
(1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery,
Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries
in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the
National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov
exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in
Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited – they went there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby’s door. Once there they were introduced by somebody who knew Gatsby, and after that they conducted themselves according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks. Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission.
I had been actually invited. A chauffeur in a uniform of robin’s-egg blue crossed my lawn early that Saturday morning with a surprisingly formal note from his employer: the honor would be entirely Gatsby’s, it said, if I would attend his “little party” that night. He had seen me several times, and had intended to call on me long before, but a peculiar combination of circumstances had prevented it – signed Jay Gatsby, in a majestic hand.
Dressed up in white flannels I went over to his lawn a little after seven, and wandered around rather ill at ease among swirls and eddies of people I didn’t know – though here and there was a face I had noticed on the commuting train. I was immediately struck by the number of young Englishmen dotted about; all well dressed, all looking a little hungry, and all talking in low, earnest voices to solid and prosperous Americans. I was sure that they were selling something: bonds or insurance or automobiles. They were at least agonizingly aware of the easy money in the vicinity and convinced that it was theirs for a few words in the right key.

Read the following passage from Passing, by Nella Larsen, and answer the question.
Stepping out of the elevator that had brought her to the roof, she was led to a table just in front of a long window whose gently moving curtains suggested a cool breeze. It was, she thought, like being wafted upward on a magic carpet to another world, pleasant, quiet, and strangely remote from the sizzling one that she had left below.

“Through the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) Data Collection, the FBI provides data
and training that helps keep law enforcement officers safe as they protect the nation’s communities. The goal
is to provide relevant, high quality, potentially lifesaving information to law enforcement agencies focusing on
why an incident occurred, as opposed to what occurred during the incident, with the hope of preventing future
incidents. The data collected is analyzed by the LEOKA team and the results are incorporated into the officer
safety awareness training the FBI provides for partner agencies.
LEOKA’S Three-Tier Approach
LEOKA has a three-tier approach in order to fulfill its mission and promote officer safety awareness to the law
enforcement community nationwide:
▪ Data collection: Data on line-of-duty deaths and assaults are collected from participating agencies
across the country through the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, and the recent
expansion of the data collection methods are providing even more facts that can be studied by experts
and officer safety trainers in order to tailor training to real world circumstances. The data are also
published annually in the Bureau’s Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted report.
▪ Research: Over the years, researchers led by the LEOKA Data Collection have been conducting indepth research using UCR data collected regarding incidents in which officers are killed or assaulted.
The published research gives officers a sharper understanding of what types of scenarios and
circumstances have resulted in fatalities and assaults. These articles and publications also contain
information obtained through extensive interviews with officers and offenders involved in critical
incidents to develop lessons learned, trends and curriculum development for the FBI’s Officer Safety
Awareness Training (OSAT).
▪ Training: The objective of the Bureau’s OSAT, which has been provided to thousands of our law
enforcement partners in the U.S. and abroad, is to assist law enforcement managers, trainers, and
personnel with identifying issues and circumstances that may contribute to officer deaths and assaults
and help prevent them. Data has shown an increase in ambushes on our nation’s law enforcement
officers. As a result, LEOKA trainers are studying the data with the purpose of shaping future training
to help reverse this trend with information and education.
LEOKA Criteria
The data collected under the auspices of the LEOKA Data Collection involves law enforcement officers who
meet a certain set of criteria established by the FBI.
General Criteria
The publishable data pertains to felonious deaths, accidental deaths, and assaults of duly sworn city, university
and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement officers who, at the time of the incident, met the
following criteria:
▪ Wore/carried a badge (ordinarily)
▪ Carried a firearm (ordinarily)
▪ Were duly sworn and had full arrest powers
▪ Were members of a law enforcement agency
▪ Were acting in an official capacity, whether on or off duty, at the time of the incident
▪ If killed, the deaths were directly related to the injuries received during the incidentes.”

I Met My Pen Pal for the First Time in a Country I
Knew Almost Nothing About — and We Fell in Love
(1º§) I'm what you might call a hopeless romantic with
impulsive tendencies. During the height of the pandemic,
I flew to Tbilisi to spend a week with my Russian pen pal,
Anastasia, whom I had known for years, but never met in
person.
(2º§) In a world ravaged by COVID-19, Anastasia kept
me sane. Even from afar, her kind words and charming
smile filled me with joy and affection. Pairing those
emotions with my insatiable wanderlust, I knew I had to
meet her in person. But it was spring 2021, and most of
the world was still shut down. Due to all the restrictions,
finding a country for both an American and a Russian
citizen was virtually impossible.
(3º§) Then, I discovered Georgia, a country I knew
almost nothing about. Provided Anastasia and I received
a negative PCR test result, we could enter without having
to quarantine. We didn't need a visa, either. So, after a
long journey with two layovers and 24 hours in the air, I
met my pen pal in Tbilisi.
(4º§) The Georgian capital was full of surprises. We
strolled along the futuristic Bridge of Peace lit with LEDs.
We climbed the crumbling Narikala Fortress and passed
slanted, Soviet homes. At times modern and at others
medieval, the city's style was strangely addictive.
Anastasia and I walked hand in hand, eager to find all
Tbilisi's secrets.
(5º§) One such secret was the food. From soup
dumplings to nuts dipped in thickened grape juice,
Georgian food was a simple and wholesome pleasure.
Oh, and you haven't lived until you've tried khachapuri, a
soft bread blanketed in cheese, butter, and egg. The
stomach truly is the way to the heart because I was head
over heels.
(6º§) Even so, I say, everything in life is better with a
glass of wine, so I decided to take Anastasia on a day trip
to the Khareba Winery in Kakheti. Together, we tasted
Georgia's traditional varietals and explored the winery's
4.7-mile-long tunnel system. Our wine tasting was as
intimate as it was thirst-quenching.
(7º§) Still a bit tipsy, we headed to Signagi, the City of
Love. One of the locals told me Signagi's presumptuous
title is just for tourism purposes. But the cute, pastel
houses and stunning valley vistas are enough to put
anyone in a romantic mood. As we watched the sun set
over the stone walls of Signagi, love was definitely in the
air.
(8º§) But the pinnacle of our Georgian excursion came
north of Tbilisi, in the mountains of Kazbegi. On a group
trip with Gamarjoba Georgia Tours, we marveled as
majestic, green peaks rose around us. Their rocky faces
were speckled with spring flowers and babbling streams of melted ice. From the slopes of the Gudauri Ski Resort
to the nameless, roadside cliffs, unforgettable views
awaited around every corner.
(9º§) To make the trip even more memorable, the tour
guide got us drunk on homemade chacha, Georgia's
national hard liquor. Then, he decided it was a good idea
to reenact "Dirty Dancing" during a cliffside photo shoot.
After all, nothing brings a couple together like the fear of
falling off a cliff.
(10º§) Thankfully, I did not fall from the mountaintops, but
I did fall for Anastasia. Once we returned to the quaint,
cobbled streets of Tbilisi, I told her I had decided to move
to Russia to be with her. My family questioned me, but
this wasn't another impulsive decision. Georgia's rich
culture and romantic landscapes had set the stage for
our relationship. Tbilisi, it turns out, was the perfect place
for Anastasia and I to start our next adventure.
