The understanding of the ancient Harappan civilization does not rely on the decipherment of the Harappan script. Instead, it is the analysis of material evidence that enables archaeologists to reconstruct Harappan life. This evidence encompasses various objects such as pottery, tools, ornaments, and household items. Organic materials like cloth, leather, wood, and reeds tend to decompose, especially in tropical regions. The durable materials that endure are stone, burnt clay (terracotta), metal, and the like. |
