At the end of November, Dr Alexandra Livarda<\/a>, the PI of the I+D DarkAegean<\/a> project\u00a0The agricultural economy of the Aegean \u2018Dark Ages\u2019 through machine learning-powered 3D cereal grain morphometrics<\/em> (PID2022-139907NB-I00) visited the collaborating team of agronomers led by Dr Ioannis Mylonas at Thermi Thessalonikis, Greece. The researchers visited the fields and revised the work on the new year of cultivations of free-threshing wheat at the facilities of ELGO-DIMITRA.<\/p>\n This will be the second year of experimentally cultivating a series of free-threshing wheat landraces with different combinations of irrigation and manuring regimes towards the creation of a new methodological tool for the identification of agricultural regimes using the shape of grains with application to archaeology.<\/p>\n Dr Livarda<\/a> and Dr Mylonas also had the chance to revise the new instruments bought this year to measure the characteristics of the experimentally cultivated plants and their grains and, importantly, set the \u2018seeds\u2019 for the next phase of their collaboration!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The project\u00a0DarkAegean.
