Summary:	This text studies the archaeological remains of the endogenous fortifications of eastern Senegal during the Atlantic slave trade. 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.
