Meet the people, some from the University of Cape Town, others from the local community, who with their experience in various fields have been instrumental in giving life to the Living Landscape Project. John Parkington
is Professor of Archaeology at UCT and has been working in the
Clanwilliam area since 1968. He has been recording rock art, excavating in
shelters and caves and digging coastal shell middens in order to
understand the lives of the precolonial inhabitants of the Western Cape.
He is working through the Living Landscape Project
to bring the results of this work into school curricula and museum
displays. Lindie Melle
is a former art teacher and a practising artist living in Clanwilliam. Tracy Prosalendis
is a maker of books and a craftsperson who works in leather and paper. Cecilene Muller
is a postgraduate student in archaeology with a strong interest in youth
education. For her honours thesis she studied the use of a medicinal plant
in the Clanwilliam area and for her master's she reconstructed past diets
using stable isotopes. Nirdev Desai describes himself as a archaeometallurgist and teacher. Roseline Carolus first joined the project to participate in the intensive CLLP training programme. She remains with the project in Clanwilliam and is employed by UCT. Eric Geya was a former CLLP trainee and has since joined the project as grounds man and gardener.
