Séguié is an archaeological site in the forest zone of Ivory Coast, near Agboville. Excavations revealed large oval ditches, interpreted as possible defensive works, together with abundant pottery, pipes, and a forearm sleeve bracelet. The site’s chronology remains undetermined, but its substantial remains indicate the potential for reconstructing early settlement and exchange in the forest region.

Le récit
Séguié lies in the forest country of Ivory Coast, in the Agboville sub-prefecture. The site contains large oval-shaped ditches between four and six metres deep, resembling defensive areas. Excavations uncovered a vast quantity of pottery, while associated plates show pipes and a forearm sleeve bracelet recovered from the site.
The remains are important because they occur deep within the forest, an environment whose earlier settlement history is difficult to reconstruct. The inhabitants identified in the extract as Abe say that their ancestors found the ditches when they arrived and do not know who made them. This tradition preserves awareness of an older archaeological landscape without assigning it a secure creator.
The dating of Séguié remains uncertain, and the extract calls for comparative study of its pottery with material from neighbouring areas. The site is therefore best understood as a promising but incompletely dated source for investigating settlement, defence, and exchange in the forest zone.
