In this chapter, my interest is to understand how, in recent decades, various indigenous groups in Colombia have begun to use archeology to solve local problems that have to do with the construction of their history and guarantees of territorial autonomy. One of the characteristics of these archaeologies is their criticism of the intervention of materialities from the past and the use of a care regime for these materials that go beyond the protocols established in Western knowledge regarding materialities from the past. These are other ontologies where modern dichotomies, such as subject-object, are irrelevant, which allows the construction of assemblages that make up different logics. In the manuscript, I will review the process of rebuilding the memory of Los Taganga, a fishing community on the coast of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which for centuries has deployed instruments to repress attempts to dissolve them as an ethnic community. In this case, I show how recently the use of archaeological methods allowed the reconstruction of its ancient navigation system, which is now in disuse due to the advance of modernity.
