A praiseworthy early undertaking in this task was the book by G.R. Hunter published in 1934⁴³. It contained drawings of all the Indus texts excavated by February 1927 (comprising 518 texts from Mohenjo-daro and 243 texts from Harappa), with a documentation of the excavation numbers, as well as a concordance to the occurrences of each individual sign within these inscriptions. Hunter further discussed this evidence and drew certain conclusions from it. Even if one disagrees with his general findings, Hunter is to be credited for a good number of pertinent observations and for the preparation of a valuable research tool.
