Abstract
Magdalena River has been the main channel of communication between the Colombian continental interior and the maritime dynamics of the Caribbean coast, from the pre-Hispanic period to at least early 20th century. Its large basin was the scenario of an extraordinary nautical dynamism, whose technological base has been predominantly the dugout canoe. Consequently, this article exposes the preliminary advances of an investigation on the ground, raised in a transdisciplinary way by combining views and methods of ethnohistory, ethnography and nautical archeology, whose objectives were related to the analysis of that river navigation that connected territories, goods, people and ideas; the evaluation of possible conceptual and constructive continuities in the canoes still present in the river, and the recording of the artisan knowledge of the communities that still today navigate its waters and populate its banks.
