The Indus Script: Texts, Concordance and Tables c9.s6.3

It would have been simple enough to collect and reproduce the old photographs of the earlier publications. Such a procedure, however, would have resulted in a book that would not have fully satisfied the serious student of the Indus script and iconography. The size and quality of the illustrations, even in the original reports, is not always sufficient. Moreover, the available material is documented incompletely, for, as pointed out above, there are many hundreds of unpublished objects: objects coming from excavations conducted at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa after the conclusion of the official excavations; a large number of duplicate and broken or indistinct objects, especially from Harappa; and objects from excavations and explorations carried out in India and Pakistan during the past few decades but not yet published in full.
