Main Focus
Meiirzhan’s main research focus is to study the millet cultivation and paleoclimate conditions in eastern-central Europe from the 2nd millenium BC and onwards. Using a combination of miliacin biomarker identification and deuterium stable isotope analysis, he hopes to understand whether millet exploitation success and setbacks across time and space are linked with past climate changes.
