While agricultural origins have been recently revised in light of new genetic and archaeological evidence, parallel synthesis of subsequent developments in agricultural economies has lagged. This review summarizes recent advances in archaeological theory and method that contribute to an enhanced understanding of agricultural economies. Such advances address topics of persistent interest, including agricultural innovation, the introduction of new domesticates, risk and resilience, agricultural scaling, and the economic and environmental consequences of agricultural practices. Although points of complementarity and tension exist among varied contemporary discourses on agriculture, frameworks of resilience and entanglement offer particularly promising avenues for regional synthesis and worldwide comparison of agricultural economies.

尽管最近根据新的遗传和考古证据对农业起源进行了修订，但农业经济后续发展的并行综合却滞后了。这篇综述总结了考古理论和方法的最新进展，有助于加深对农业经济的理解。这些进展涉及人们持续关注的主题，包括农业创新、新驯化作物的引入、风险和恢复力、农业规模化以及农业实践的经济和环境后果。尽管当代关于农业的各种讨论之间存在互补性和紧张点，但弹性和纠缠框架为农业经济的区域综合和全球比较提供了特别有希望的途径。
