The Archivo Espanol De Arqueologia is an academic journal focused on archaeology and ancient history in the field of Mediterranean and European culture. The journal is known for its extensive spatio-temporal coverage and open attitude to disciplinary boundaries, providing the archaeological community with a platform for in-depth discussion of ancient civilizations.

The time range of the journal is wide, beginning with the early civilizations of the Eastern world and extending to the late Roman Empire. This broad time span allows scholars to study and compare archaeological finds from different periods and regions to better understand the continuity and transformation of the ancient world. Particularly accepted are studies that affect boundary phases, i.e., those that are in transition between different historical or cultural periods. These studies help to shed light on social dynamics and cultural changes at turning points in history, providing key perspectives for understanding the development of the ancient world.
