Founded by Antonio García y Bellido in 1940 as a specialized branch of Archivo Español de Arte y Arqueología (1925), Archivo Español de Arqueología is a scientific journal that annually publishes articles on Archaeology that focus on their material, literary, epigraphic and numismatic sources. Its field of interest includes Mediterranean and European cultures from Protohistoric times to the Early Middle Ages and is flexibly open to upcoming cultural realities and border times. The journal is divided into two sections: articles - which include both reflections of a general nature on specific topics and shorter contributions on developments in archaeological research - and reviews. In addition, the journal publishes monographs concerning the aforementioned subjects in the series Anejos de Archivo Español de Arqueología.
