Slade Kalenda (University of Zambia) participated in the Paleoarchaeological Fieldwork at Boomplas Cave project, which focuses on tracking dietary and technological changes across the Middle Stone Age to Later Stone Age (MSA-LSA) transition through the analysis of lithics and macrofaunal remains. Slade has a strong academic record in Archaeology, where he developed a solid foundation in archaeological theory and cultural resource management. Whereas most of Slade’s prior experience is theoretical, he now aims to gain concrete fieldwork experience to help him further his aspirations of becoming a field archaeologist in Zambia.
