The Indus Script: Texts, Concordance and Tables c5.1

c5.1

Column 1 in the following tabulation gives the CISI numbers assigned to the objects in the present volume. Column 2 gives the FC (= the Finnish Concordance in its current version, cf. p. XX, fn. 50) numbers, according to which the material is arranged in the CISI archives at the University of Helsinki. This number is given also because the FC offers help in reading the inscriptions, as does also I. Mahadevan's Concordance (see p. XX, fn. 49), where many numbers are identical with the FC numbers (but many numbers are also different: the numbers of the two concordances are correlated in the second volume of the FC). In this preliminary short catalogue, furthermore, the FC number replaces the references to earlier publications of the objects, since the great bulk of them, i.e., those coming from Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, can easily be located with their help (see p. XXVII, fn. 71). Virtually none of the objects with the FC numbers between 0005 and 0781 and between 3802 and 4614 has been published before; a great number of previously unpublished objects come from Kalibangan and Lothal, and some from Banawali, Desalpur, Dholavira, Khirsara, Pabumath, Rakhigarhi and Tarkhanewala-Dera.
