The Archaeology of Madagascar
This chapter surveys the archaeology of Madagascar, one of the world’s largest islands and one of the last major landmasses to be permanently settled by humans. Despite its proximity to Africa, Madagascar’s archaeological and linguistic records reveal a complex history of settlement by seafaring populations from across the Indian Ocean, especially Southeast Asia and East Africa. The authors trace the development of archaeological research on the …
Changing the Landscape of Archaeological Publishing
Disseminating research is a key component of scholarly labor, but the costs and benefits of the current structure of academic publishing are underexamined within anthropology. This paper brings together a range of authors from across archaeology and cultural anthropology to summarize current issues in archaeological publishing and offer potential interventions at multiple scales. The paper is divided into five core topics. “Ideology” discusses th…
Writing in community
As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and in coauthorship contexts. Here, we focus on peer-reviewed publication as the principal manifestation of …

The Diversity of Late Holocene Shellfish Exploitation in Velondriake, Southwest Madagascar
Shellfish represent an important component of human diet, especially for coastal communities, and shells are integral to a wide range of activities and social interactions. In addition to providing rich information on questions of subsistence, daily and ritual practices, and trade and exchange, shellfish remains serve as sensitive paleoecological indicators of changes in climate and environment. The exploitation of shellfish by ancient communitie…
