Just as modern nation-states struggle to manage the cultural and economic impacts of migration, ancient civilizations dealt with similar external pressures and set policies to regulate people's movements. In one of the earliest urban societies, the Indus Civilization, mechanisms linking city populations to hinterland groups remain enigmatic in the absence of written documents. However, isotopic...

A popular cultural trend developed in late 18thand 19th-century American mortuary practices. Called “the beautification of death,” this Romantic movement idealized death and heaven through ideological, behavioral, and material transformations.

Program slicing is a program analysis and transformation technique that has been successfully applied in a wide range of applications including program comprehension, debugging, maintenance, testing, and verification. However, there are only a few full-featured implementations of program slicing that are available for industrial applications or academic research. In particular, very little tool...

in less than 150 words) The Indus Fan with its 1500 Km length, 960 Km maximum width, and 1.1 x 10 (power of 6) sq. Km. area, is the most extensive physiographical province of the Arabian Sea in the northwest Indian Ocean.

Cereal grains play a pivotal role in the rise and character of the Indus civilization. Archaeologists have traditionally focused their attention on the large-grained crops of wheat and barley while often minimizing the importance of the smaller-grainedmillets. Both environmental and cultural variables influence crop selection in the past as well as today. This paper explores the role and signif...

The recently discovered Indus stellar stream exhibits a diverse chemical signature compared to what is found for most other streams due the abundances of two outlier stars, Indus$\_$0 and Indus$\_$13. Indus$\_$13, an extreme enhancement in rapid neutron-capture ($r$-)process elements with $\mathrm{[Eu/Fe]} = +1.81$. It thus provides direct evidence accreted nature $r$-process enhanced stars. In...

One of the most important undeciphered scripts of the ancient world is the Indus script. Earlier studies had focused on the correlations between signs in the Indus texts using various statistical and computational techniques such as N-grams or Markov chains. In the present study, K-means clustering, an unsupervised machine learning technique is used to identify clusters of similar texts without...
