On the northeast coast of Madagascar, near the town of Vohémar, is
a large cemetery dating to the fourteenth century. During World War
II, French troops excavated the site but left no comprehensive
report. University of Michigan archaeologist Henry T. Wright led an
intensive archaeological survey in the region, hoping to find
evidence of earlier settlements. In four seasons, the researchers
found evidence of several settlements dating to different periods:
a large port site dating to the same era as the cemetery; early
estuarine villages of the 7th and 8th centuries; and a rock shelter
with microlithic tools. In this study, Wright presents the survey
results in detail, including the evidence for settlements as well
as illustrations of the ceramics and stone tools.
