21. RA_PETR_TG_0863
RA_PETR_TG_0863
Description
Detail of boulder with many images. Note double caprids in center, plantigrade caprid above, elegant hunter and stag. Different patina of images does not necessarily indicate different dates, but the differences in style (of images and pecking) probably do indicate different hands/periods. In this case, the lower double caprid seems to be a copy of the upper one, done at a much later time.
22. RA_PETR_TG_0239
RA_PETR_TG_0239
Description
Detail of archer on left side of combat scene. Unfinished horse (?) on left may not be related since the quality of the pecking is very different.
23. RA_PETR_TG_0441
RA_PETR_TG_0441

Detail of larger view showing scored hunters and caprids. The goat in upper right has been repecked more recently.
24. RA_PETR_TG_0300

Description
Close detail of central animal and gouged and scraped running animal on left. Compare greenish patina with darkened engraved lines of animal above.
25. RA_PETR_TG_0956
RA_PETR_TG_0956
Description
Herd of goats on two different sections of split boulder. Those above are probably earlier than the small group below. Note the treatment of some of the animals as if seen in a three-quarter pose. The vertical surface may delay the repatination of the images; thus the upper group may belong to the Early Nomadic Period.

Description
Hunter drawing bow towards two large elk, one with internal spots. Other animals, some much lighter in patination but not necessarily done later. Hunter wears belted tunic typical of the Early Nomads.
