Teniky
Teniky is an isolated inland archaeological site in the Isalo massif of southern Madagascar, with enigmatic rock-cut architecture that is unique in all of Madagascar and the wider East African coast. In the first half of the twentieth century visitors described archaeogical structures within a fluvial cirque (i.e. an amphitheatre-shaped valley formed by fluvial erosion), which included man-made terraces, rock-cut niches in the steep cliffs and a …

Migration and Interaction between Madagascar and Eastern Africa, 500 BCE–1000 CE
The debate on the peopling of Madagascar has long been dominated by historical linguistics and the observed similarities between Malagasy and Austronesian languages. It is clear from the linguistic evidence that there have been several periods of human contact with, or migration to, Madagascar—and that these also brought different domesticates to the island (Allibert 1998, 2007; Beaujard 2011a,b; Boivin et al. 2013). Genetics is currently the mai…

The archaeological site at Vohemar in a regional geographical and geological context
A major necropolis, discovered in the late 19th century at Vohemar, is located on a peninsula along the east coast of northern Madagascar. Excavations in the past century suggest that a prosperous civilization — the Rasikajy — buried their dead at this cemetery. The civilization seems to have disappeared from the region probably sometime in the 16th century. We discuss the regional geographical and geological context of the archaeological site at…
Réévaluation du site de Vohémar
L'orthographe du mot peut tre dbattue. En effet, les accents n'existant pas en malgache, on est en droit d'crire ce nom Vohemar . Toutefois, pour les Malgaches, le vrai nom de la ville est Iharana. Le mot Vohemar est un driv du nom du sultan Bimar, terme transform en Bimaro par les premiers Europens, puis Vohmar . Le comit scientifique du numro de la revue a donc dcid de laisser chaque auteur le choix de l'orthographe
The Rasikajy civilization in northeast Madagascar
Archaeological excavations in northern Madagascar during the first half of the 20th century have revealed the presence of a former prosperous civilisation known as the Rasikajy civilisation. Little is known about the origin of this civilisation and how and when they first arrived in Madagascar. The most striking evidence for the Rasikajy civilisation comes from excavations at a necropolis in Vohemar located along the northeast coast, where more t…
Taboos and Forest Governance
In the dry forest of southern Madagascar, a region of global conservation priority, formally protected areas are nearly totally absent. We illustrate how the continued existence of unique forest habitats in the Androy region is directly dependent on informal institutions, taboos, regulating human behavior. Qualitative interviews to map and analyze the social mechanisms underlying forest protection have been combined with vegetation analyses of sp…
