Resumo: 	In this synthesis, we hope to accomplish two things: 1) reflect on how the analysis of the new archaeological cases presented in this special feature adds to previous case studies  by revisiting a set of propositions reported in a 2006 special feature, and 2) reflect on four main ideas that are more specific to the archaeological cases: i) societal choices are influenced by robustness&amp;#8211;vulnerability trade-offs, ii) there is interplay between robustness&amp;#8211;vulnerability trade-offs and robustness&amp;#8211;performance trade-offs, iii) societies often get locked in to particular strategies, and iv)  multiple positive feedbacks escalate the perceived cost of societal change. We then discuss whether these lock-in traps can be prevented or whether the risks associated with them can be mitigated. We conclude by highlighting how these long-term historical studies can help us to understand current society, societal practices, and the nexus between ecology and society.
