Abstract

During recent years in Colombia, different studies have been formulated from maritime and underwater archaeology linked to various contexts that have contributed to enriching the understanding of the historical relationship between human societies and the bodies of water that surround them. One of the main purposes defined by these studies, developed mainly from the analytical tools provided by the concept of the Maritime Cultural Landscape, have had the goal of understanding the defense of Nautical Spaces in the Colombian Caribbean. With this in mind, it has been possible to demonstrate the way in which different sociocultural dynamics were historically presented in these landscapes related to mobility, control and territorial defense of the region. In this order of ideas, this article aims to comprehensively discuss an interpretation and propose, at the same time, a comparative analysis of the maritime control and defense of the Nautical Space in some sectors of the Caribbean Sea at the north of Colombia. All this, based on some of the archaeological and historical approaches developed to date in Cartagena de Indias, La Guajira peninsula and Providencia and Santa Catalina islands, associated with the socio-historical dynamics that occurred and are framed in the sociocultural conjunctures given, mainly, between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries during the Colonial Period
