The Indus Script explores the enigmatic signs associated with the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the earliest urban civilizations of South Asia. Found on seals, pottery, tablets, ornaments, and other archaeological materials, these signs provide an important window into the material culture and communication practices of the ancient Indus world.
The book introduces readers to the visual characteristics of the script, commonly observed sign forms, archaeological discoveries, inscriptions, and major approaches proposed for understanding them.
