Synopsis:
The Indus script developed in the Indus or Harappan civilizations, which flourished around 2500-1900 BC in what is now modern Pakistan. Nearly 4000 samples of the writing survive, mainly on stamp seals and amulets. In this fascinating study, Asko Parpola outlines what is known about the Harappan culture and its script, presents a decipherment of a small number of interlocking Indus signs, and proposes a method that will permit further progress in decipherment.
