To understand the typology set out in the following catalogue, it is useful to recognise the
complete decals of the rocks first which will be presented in the following pages. Some
discrepancies that may be visible with the typological set out can be explained through the
use of overlaps and associations. This has already been mentioned in chapter 4 of the first
volume of this Master Thesis. For example, one may come across a figure which does not
seem to fit within the given category, this can be explained through the fact that it may be
part of an overlap, therefore the reader may verify this by checking the complete decal of the
individual engraving concerned. Each figure is presented in its orientation upon the cast
moulds; therefore it will appear as it does on the rock itself. At the end of this catalogue is the
images taken in the 2013 (August) Prospection of Gardete. They have yet to be studied and
recorded in the manner in which the moulds have undergone; however they are still present
for viewing purposes in this catalogue.
