Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "In Small Islands Forgotten: Insular Historical Archaeologies of a Globalizing World", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Interdisciplinary approaches from maritime, coastal, island, nautical and underwater archaeology have been developed in recent years in Colombia, particularly on the island of Tierrabomba in Cartagena de Indias, the islands of Providencia and Santa Catalina and La Guajira Peninsula (Caribbean Sea). The results of these integral investigations aim to understand these seascapes and sandscapes as nautical spaces for mobility, control and territorial defense of the region. The documentary and material evidences have allowed to characterize the relationship of socio-cultural development, between the 18th and 19th centuries, with its aquatic spaces. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of the control and maritime defense of insular and coastal nautical spaces in these three study areas of the Colombian Caribbean Sea through the archaeological contexts.
