In 1965, the Institute of Archaeology and Prehistory, University of Barcelona created the journal Pyrenae as disseminator of research. The journal was born as a result of personal clashes between different sectors of archaeological research in Catalonia and response to an institutional crisis that erupted in 1960. Under the leadership of Joan Maluquer Motes and Lluís Pericot, the review brought together most of the researchers who considered themselves members of the Archaeological School of Barcelona founded by Pere Bosch Gimpera in 1916. Over fifty years, and in three successive times, Pyrenae has become a periodical of reference in the field of Spanish archaeological research and faces its future with the intention of becoming a reference for research on Prehistory and Antiquity in the Western Mediterranean.
