Abstract: This article examines different archaeological approaches to the material culture associated with the Santa Bárbara battlefield in Subachoque, Cundinamarca, Colombia. The battle took place in 1861, during the War of the Sovereignties (1859–1862), and has been studied by the Archaeology of War and Battlefields research group. The group has taken an interdisciplinary approach to this archaeological context, employing methodological tools such as KOCOA and landscape analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These approaches have yielded findings from multiple lines of material evidence, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the battlefield. The results also demonstrate the considerable archaeological potential of such events for understanding Colombia’s sociocultural trajectory and the military and wartime contexts that have historically shaped the country.
