Figure 2

A simplified flow diagram showing the sequence used in the simulation. Of the inputs shown on the left, only the number of hoards required is compulsory. The remainder have default values which can be over-ridden if desired and are shown on the right.

Figure 12

Symmetric maps from CA of data set Lyn. Filled circles are hoards, open circles are issues.

Figure 13

Ordination maps from the bootstrapped CA of hoards from Italy and Spain at the end of the second century bc. Ellipses are 95% confidence regions derived from the bootstrapping.

Figure 14

The circles plot score for each coin issue on the first axis of inertia from a CA. The lines represent approximately 95% of the values from the bootstrapped replicates calculated from the reported variances. The issue numbers are those from Crawford (1974). The vertical dashed line shows the upper bound for issue RRC 302.
