Spanish term

cuerpo de la Historia

Spanish to English Social Sciences Archaeology
Pls see below talking about history and how knowledge of wrecks makes history. Thanks.

De esa forma, se alcanza uno de los principales objetivos de cualquier investigación arqueológica-histórica: aumentar el conocimiento e incluir
ese conocimiento adquirido en el cuerpo de la Historia.
Lo mismo ocurre en el caso de la Arqueología subacuática.
Con sus investigaciones se consigue avanzar en el conocimiento del PCS y hacer Historia.
Por ejemplo, en la arquitectura naval, el origen, distribución y destino de los cargamentos, la vida a bordo, etc. Ello nos permite hacer Historia social, económica, política, comercial, marítima, náutica, etc.

body of historical knowledge

body = the sum of all (in this case, historical) knowledge.

IMHO, the Spanish sentence (... incluir ese conocimiento adquirido en el cuerpo de la Historia) doesn't really sound good in English, perhaps because you need to repeat "knowledge", but it is a common construction. Needs tweaking.

Maybe something with "ontology"? "A body of knowledge is the accepted ontology for a specific domain."

segment of history

Adding to the segment of history, where the info is added to the timeframe from when these ships sunk or the timeline that these ships were in use.
