The Indus Script: Texts, Concordance and Tables c3.11

c3.11

Because all existing material was not accessible when the photography was done by the photographers of the ASI in 1978-83 and by Erja Lahdenperä in 1984-85, Ms Lahdenperä left for supplementary photography in India in March 1987. She was also to carry out colour documentation and to photograph better impressions of some seals. This tour had not yet been fully completed when the volume went to the press in order to meet the publication schedule necessitated by the financial arrangements. Whatever was received prior to the end of August 1987 could be included in this volume. The remainder will be included in the addenda part of the third volume of the Corpus. In any case, it would not have been worthwhile to postpone the publication of this already bulky volume for the sake of a few missing items, since the Corpus will never be complete in the absolute sense of the term: new objects keep turning up, and we trust that eventually further volumes of the Corpus will be published.
