Figure 4: Relative variety of economic choices within synchronic analysis (after Robb and Van Hove 2003, 247)

Figure 5: Example of synchronic simulation output: farmland, herding space and foraging territory around Penitenzeria (Gregg's optimal farmer model – 62.90% farming, 23% herding, 14.10% foraging; Gregg 1988, 178)

Figure 6: Farmland (a), herding space (b) and foraging territory (c) for Melitò di Porto Salvo, using an economy with 62.9% farming, 23% herding and 14.1% foraging (as based on the optimal farming model by Gregg 1988), through one generation (30 years), for 50 people

Figure 7: Foraging space around Penitenzeria over an accumulated history of 150 iterations (years), using an economy with 15% farming, 15% herding and 70% foraging. Annotated are the potential ways the off-site territory could have been perceived, representing a hypothetical interpretation based on the simulation outcomes
