Editing Indus script (section)

===Late Harappan===
The [[Late Harappan period]], from {{circa|1900–1300 BCE|lk=no}}, followed the more urbanised Mature Harappan period, and was a period of fragmentation and localisation which preceded the early [[Iron Age in India|Iron Age in the Indian subcontinent]]. Inscriptions have been found at sites associated with the localised phases of this period. At Harappa, the use of the script largely ceased as the use of inscribed seals ended around {{circa|1900 BCE}}; however, the use of the Indus script may have endured for a longer duration in other regions such as at [[Rangpur, Gujarat]], particularly in the form of graffiti inscribed on pottery.{{sfnp|Kenoyer|2006|pp=10–11}} Seals from the [[Jhukar Phase|Jhukar phase]] of the Late Harappan period, centred on the present-day province of [[Sindh]] in Pakistan, lack the Indus script, however, some [[potsherd]] inscriptions from this phase have been noted.{{sfnp|Singh|2008|p={{page needed|date=February 2022}}}} Both seals and potsherds bearing Indus script text, dated {{circa|2200–1600 BCE|lk=no}}, have been found at sites associated with the [[Daimabad]] culture of the Late Harappan period, in present-day [[Maharashtra]].{{sfnp|Sali|1986|pp=504–505}}
