We developed a cartography that questions the maps from the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina that simplify their image representing them as empty and isolated islands. We use visual archeology as an excavation methodology to study photographs of abandoned objects to draw a graphic chart of representation of the island of San Andres. This perspective allows us to account for the day by day in the landscape and to integrate that which inhabits the islands in everyday life. We conclude with a reflection on the role of open reasearch as a way to establish links for communication and knowledge appropriation.

Keywords : graphic chart; visual archeology; open research; material culture; island; archipelago; San Andrés; San Andres Island (Colombia)-Maps; everyday-life socio-cultural aspects of San Andres Island (Colombia); community involvement.
