The purpose of the series is to make available for research, in as good images as possible, all seals and inscriptions relating to the Indus Civilization, which flourished in Pakistan and northwestern India c. 2600–1900 BCE. This material is fundamental for the research of the poorly understood script, religion and art of the Indus Civilization.
