Aims & Scope

Cuadernos de Prehistoria y Arqueología de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (CuPAUAM) is a scientific peer-reviewed journal interested in the publication of original papers on Prehistory and Archaeology, edited by the Department of Prehistory and Archaeology of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) with an annual periodicity.

It was founded in 1974 by Professor Dr.

Gratiniano Nieto Gallo, then Head of the Department, and with 41 numbers yet published this journal is the oldest one on this topic amongst the universities of Madrid and of all the periodical publications of the UAM.

The journal is open to any topic and period of the past (even the closest ones) that has been studied with archaeological methodology, and has a firm international projection amongst its future goals.

It is for this reason that from 2013 the journal is publishing articles in Spanish, German, French, English, Italian and Portuguese, given that they are the European languages with more projection, and that inside the current European context scientific media are responsible for favoring international communication and collaboration.

Contributions included in this volume have been peer-reviewed mostly by referees external to the editing institution.
