Description

 * The Interactive Corpus of Indus Texts (ICIT) is an online tool for Indus script research. The basis of successful decipherment is an up-to-date corpus of Indus inscriptions and a comprehensive sign list. At present it contains 4537 inscribed objects with 5509 texts and 19616 sign occurrences. Analytical methods have been developed to analyse Indus inscriptions such as Normalized Weighed Sign Position Histograms, Multivariate Segmentation Trees, and a classification method to determine the type of the Indus language.
