Corpus
Early examples of the symbol system are found in an Early Harappan context, dated to as early as the 33rd century BC in a BBC report of 1999. In the Mature Harappan period, from about 2600 BC, strings of Indus signs are most commonly found on flat, rectangular stamp seals, but they are also found on at least a dozen other materials including tools, miniature tablets, copper plates, and pottery.
