Trabajos de Prehistoria is the Spanish Journal of Prehistory that appears most regularly. It has been published by the Department of Prehistory (CSIC) since its creation by Professor Dr. Martín Almagro Basch in 1960. It was a monograph series until 1968 when it was changed into annual journal. In 1994 it became the only semestral periodical of its speciality published in the Iberian Peninsula. The first issue comes out in June and the second in December. The continuous appearance of the journal, its general scope, and the quality of its content have given it a preeminent position in Iberia and an important one on the international scene.
Trabajos de Prehistoria is a specialized journal essential for every archaeologist interested in the Prehistory and Protohistory of the Iberian Peninsula. It stresses synthesis, interdisciplinary studies, papers on theory and method, and new trends in this developing discipline.
Trabajos de Prehistoria incorporates, as well, the most recent concerns of prehistorians in Archaeological Heritage management. It also contains special sections for scientific discussion, book reviews and scientific chronicle.

Download HERE the Guidelines for the presentation of original manuscripts in PDF Download HERE the Good Practice Code in PDF Download HERE the Authorship Form in PDF
Trabajos de Prehistoria is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes work on the Prehistory and Protohistory of the Iberian Peninsula and its relations with Europe and the Mediterranean. On an exceptional basis, works related to other geographical areas may be published, but only if they are considered of general interest, based on their theoretical or methodological focus or on the comparative value of their archaeological content.
The journal covers subjects related to archaeological theory and methodology, archaeometry and palaeoenviroments, and contains different sections: Articles, Reports, Book Reviews and Scientific Chronicle, Abstracts and Received Books. Since volume 51 (1994) Trabajos de Prehistoria has been published twice a year (June and December). On occasion and based on prior decision of the Editorial Board, monographic numbers may be issued. In such cases their contents will meet the publication norms and will receive the same treatment as other manuscripts received.
The digital version of articles may include complementary material (e.g., Excel tables) if the information contained or their value should so warrant, but always with the prior consent of the Editorial Board. Only original works contributions (ones not previously published or pending publication elsewhere) will be published. These may be written in Spanish, English or French, and should have the following characteristics:
Articles (Artículos): original, research articles must be submitted to this Section. Should not exceed a maximum of 100000 characters, including notes, captions, tables and illustrations. Submissions to this Section will be peer-reviewed. Reports (Noticiario): preliminary reports on research projects, excavations, surveys and new and significant discoveries should be submitted to this Section. Maximum length should be of 45000 characters. Submissions to this Section will be peer-reviewed Book Review and Scientific Chronicle: These should have critical content, and not be merely descriptive. The maximum length should be around 10000 characters (4 pages). Contents of this Section are reviewed exclusively by the Editorial staff.
Trabajos de Prehistoria uses an external, “double blind” evaluation system for the submitted originals, so that both the author and the referees remain anonymous. This process will take no longer than four months. The publication of an original will in no case be financially remunerated (see note concerning copyright).
The norms have a double objective: to guarantee that standards required by international databases be followed and to streamline the publication process.
