Abstract

Submerged archaeological sites linked to shipwrecked decades, centuries or millennia ago, generally present many conditions for scientific research. Around the boat, or the remains that are preserved from it, it is possible to ask multiple questions related to its temporality, functionality, spatial origin, sinking, identity, among many others. These must consider the dynamic nature of archaeological contexts which, far from being static units, are exposed to many alteration factors that can drastically modify their characteristics and particularities. Thus, it is essential that studies interested in any type of heritage develop interdisciplinary approaches aimed at fully understanding the nature and dynamics of the sites; It is essential to question all the processes to which the ship was exposed, even from the moment of its construction, until its transformation into an archaeological site. In this order of ideas, this article of reflection proposes an analysis of the relationship between the various characteristic environmental elements and the materiality associated with two shipwrecks located in the Manzanillo and Bocachica channels in Cartagena de Indias, which would correspond to ships that presumably participated in the battle of 1741. In this way, the analysis of the data collected in those investigations allow to infer theoretical and methodological discussions related to the formation processes of submerged archaeological sites, with the state of conservation of the material evidence and with the identification of the shipwrecks.
