The Indus Civilization c11.8

c11.8

The roundel design which fills up the blank spaces in the seal in Pl. B, 5 is of great interest, for Mr. Gadd has shown that Indian seals found at Ur are decorated in this manner, but on the back instead of the face; and though not all these seals can be accurately dated by the nature of the strata in which they were found, quite a considerable proportion were unearthed in Sargonid or pre-Sargonid levels and therefore agree with our Indus Valley material in date. In discussing these seals Mr. Gadd suggests that they may have been made in another Indus Valley city, which is very probable, since there are many deserted sites of the Indus Valley civilization in Sind.
