Abstract

Abstract In West Africa, research has brought to light the remains of endogenous fortifications, some of which are called tata , built by West African communities during the last centuries of our era. Despite their importance, tata are generally examined only from a historical perspective or approached as components of global facts rather than as an object of study by themselves. As a result, little is known about the structures themselves and their roles in local history. This paper is an archaeological and historical study of a tata in Senegal. We first have a brief knowledge review of tata in the area where the fortifications are known under this name. Then, we present the archaeological and historical study of the tata of Samba Yaye. Finally, we discuss the causes and some technical aspects of the construction of the Samba Yaye tata , while integrating this site into the chrono-cultural sequence of the region.

桑巴·亚耶的《塔塔:塞内加尔东部内生防御工事的考古和历史》

在西非，研究揭示了内源性防御工事的遗迹，其中一些被称为塔塔，是西非社区在我们这个时代的最后几个世纪建造的。尽管它们很重要，但它们通常只是从历史的角度来研究，或者作为全球事实的组成部分来研究，而不是作为一个单独的研究对象。因此，人们对这些建筑本身及其在当地历史中的作用知之甚少。本文是对塞内加尔塔塔的考古和历史研究。我们首先简要回顾一下塔塔在这个地区的防御工事。然后，我们介绍了桑巴亚耶塔塔的考古和历史研究。最后，我们讨论了建造桑巴耶塔塔的原因和一些技术方面，同时将该遗址融入该地区的时间文化序列。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
