Q. In the Indus Valley Civilization, the style of script is:
Answer: Boustrophedon
Notes: Indus Scripts are popularly described as Boustrophedon scripts. This literally means "as the ox turns" in ancient Greek, denoting writing systems that alternate direction. Indus texts feature pictures and symbols, undeciphered to date, inscribed right-to-left in one line with the next line flipping left-to-right in an "ox turns" style unlike later Indian scripts. They have been found on seals, pottery, tools, even an ancient signboard. Deciphering these scripts would unlock valuable information about Harappan economics, political organization, language and beliefs.
