Talaky

Talaky lies on the dry southern coast of Madagascar, near the mouth of the Manambovo River. Beside its lagoon are traces of an old settlement, where small clusters of houses once stood on both sides of the river. Pottery fragments, fish bones and shellfish remains were left among the debris, together with iron hooks and weights that may have served fishing lines or nets. Fragments of the eggs of the enormous Aepyornis bird were also found there.
