c4.s8.t2.1

Ideally, of course, one would like to see all the objects coming from a single site, for example Mohenjo-daro, neatly arranged into one single sequence. There are, however, other considerations and realities, which have made it impracticable to realize this ideal. Instead, the Corpus is divided into three volumes according to the first criterion of physical location and ownership of the original objects. In this the *Corpus of Indus Seals and Inscriptions* follows the example of the *Corpus of Minoan and Mycenean Seals*, for instance, which is divided into different volumes according to the museums in which seals are preserved. The first volume of the Corpus presents the collections housed in the museums of India, the second volume the collections in the museums of Pakistan.⁶⁹
