Abstract
Los grupos que constituyeron el complejo cultural Tairona habrían alcanzado su máximo desarrollo tecnológico, social, político y económico entre los años 1100 y 1500. Los primeros castellanos que llegaron a las costas de la región los entendieron como dos grupos diferenciados, uno los que ocupaban la franja costera y otro por los situados en las vertientes norte y noroeste de la Sierra Nevada. Hoy podemos concluir que los que habitaban las laderas y alturas serranas estuvieron muy relacionados con los pueblos del litoral,y mucho más vinculados al Caribe de lo que se había supuesto.Una región muy poblada, además. Los primeros testimonios escritos ya mencionan una muy alta y densa población, y enseguida los ocupantes y vecinos de Santa Marta afirmaron que había entre 15.000 y 40.000 naturales en aquellas provincias. Pueblos en contacto, vigorosos y numerosos.
The groups that constituted the Tairona cultural complex would have reached their maximum technological, social, political and economic development between the years 1100 and 1500. The first Castilians who arrived at the coasts of the region understood them as two differentiated groups, one thatoccupied the coastal strip and the other located on the north and northwest slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Today we can conclude that those who inhabited the hillsides and mountain heights were closely related to the coastal peoples, and much more linked tothe Caribbean See than it had been assumed. It is also a very populated region. The first written testimonies already mention a very high and dense population, and soon the occupants and neighbors of Santa Marta stated that there were between 15,000 and 40,000 natives in those provinces. Peoples in touch, vigorous and numerous.
