In his first part, he addresses the generalities by dealing with the determinants of the establishment of fortifications in West Africa. Following a proposal for the classification of West African endogenous fortifications, it gives an overview of the different types of fortifications present from Senegal to Cameroon. In the second part, he presents the military and political history of the state entities of the left bank of the Falémé (the Fulani kingdom of Boundou, and the Malinké kingdoms of Dantila, Sirimana, and Beledougou), as well as the defensive structures that served as the basis for this history. As much as possible, each ruin of fortifications is studied under an archaeological and historical approach.African archaeology ;volume 97.BAR international series ;3081.FortificationSenegalHistorySlave tradeSenegalHistoryFortificationHistory.Slave tradeHistory.355.7'09663Nsangou Jacques Aymeric1371846StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910734342503321Les fortifications endogenes au Senegal Oriental (17ème - 19ème siecle)3401507UNINA
