Code of Sarasvati hieroglyphs cracked
 
The ongoing discussions in reference to this article on Sulekha forum may be of interest to members to participate in, to promote further researches on  the evolution of kharoshthi/brahmi scripts and semantics of the substratum, ancient languages of Bharat that is India -- paralleling the remarkable contributions made in Indo-European linguistics.
 
The artisan guilds' tradition of inscribing on copper objects -- including copper plates and metal weapons/tools, even the Gundestrup cauldron -- continues into historical periods through devices on punch-marked coins, the evolution of kharoshthi and use of copper plates to record property/economic transactions.
 
A new discipline should emerge: early semantics of periods earlier to 5000 years Before Present as the early speakers of ice age (between 18,000 to 10,000 years BP) parole, yielded to new paroles of new settlements of people.
