About The Workshop
The workshop aims to introduce an interdisciplinary audience from the humanities, sciences & engineering to the techniques of computational epigraphy for deciphering scripts, with a special focus on the Indus Civilization inscriptions
The lectures & tutorials will provide training to anyone interested in applying algorithmic methods to acquire, process and analyze data related to inscriptions in order to eventually reconstruct the underlying language and writing system.
- Origins & types of writing systems
- Deciphering ancient scripts
