Climate change and maritime cultural heritage. Perspectives and methodologies of approach in the Island of Tierra Bomba, Cartagena de Indias.

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Transient legacies of the past: Historical Archaeology in the Intertidal Zone", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Weather conditions are in constant interaction with the tangible and intangible heritage of communities, with climate being one of the factors that most influences the configuration of dynamics and meanings that are built in the territory. Based on different sources of research, this proposal aims to show in what ways and from what perspectives climate change has been addressed, and its effects on maritime heritage on the Island of Tierra Bomba, located in Cartagena de Indias, giving greater attention to changes in the landscape and how it can be conceived as a tool for monitoring and measuring its effects in intertidal contexts. A reflection and the generation of new proposals is necessary regarding the theoretical and methodological approaches from which the relationship between climate change and maritime cultural heritage is addressed, and the challenges and opportunities that it represents in terms of its management and conservation
