History
editGallia Préhistoire grew out of the journal Gallia. Founded in 1943, the scope of Gallia was subsequently redefined to include only the archaeology of Antiquity owing to the creation of Gallia Préhistoire in 1958. In 1995, Gallia Préhistoire was provided the sub-title Archéologie de la France préhistorique, which in turn would be replaced in 2008 with Préhistoire de la France dans son contexte européen.
Publisher
editThe journal is housed within the editorial unit of the Maison des Sciences de l'homme Mondes,[1] which was, prior to 2020, referred to as the Maison Archéologie & Ethnologie René-Ginouvès. Their offices are located on the campus of the Paris Nanterre University.
Major themes
editThe journal deals with archaeological material from France, as well as neighboring cultures, dating to the Lower Paleolithic through to the end of the Bronze Age. It is published annually, and this cycle is complemented by the publication of supplemental material, entitled Suppléments à Gallia Préhistoire.

editSince 2016, new issues of Gallia Préhistoire are freely available on the OpenEdition Journals web portal. Volumes published from the journal's creation to 2014 are available on the Persée web portal, as are the journal's supplemental materials.
