30年前的今天，《史前的交换系统》（Earle and Ericson，1977）出版了。本书的编辑让我有机会思考交流研究在过去一代人中是如何发展的，以及未来面临的主要挑战。我的计划是简要地总结该领域在20世纪70年代的状况，然后简要地追溯导致21世纪第一个十年的主要前进运动。我没有回顾关于这个主题的无数研究和有用的书籍和文章，而是提供关于我们从哪里来和我们必须去哪里的想法（Earle 1994，1999）。我们已经解决了许多关于来源识别的分析问题，并学会了将交换视为形成和维持社会和权力关系的一种手段，但挑战仍然存在。我们刚刚开始模拟精英和平民在日常生活和特殊场合中使用交换的复杂和冲突的方式。本书指出了我们走向更加综合的经济和社会观点的方向。
Thirty years ago today (and then some), Exchange Systems in Prehistory (Earle and Ericson 1977) was published. The editors of the present volume offered me the chance to consider how exchange studies have grown over the last generation and what major challenges lie ahead. My plan is to summarize briefly the state of the field in the 1970s and then trace briefly major forward movements leading to this first decade of the twenty-first century. Rather than review the countless studies and stream of useful books and articles on the topic, I offer thoughts on where we have come from and where we must go (Earle 1994, 1999). We have solved many analytical problems with source identification and have learned to view exchange as a means to form and maintain social and power relationships, but challenges remain ahead. We are just beginning to model the complex and conflicting ways in which elites and commoners in opposition and in collaboration used exchange in their daily lives and on special occasions. The present volume points directions in our path toward a more integrated view of economy and society.
